This tutorial will show you how to get the Netbook Remix working on an existing Ubuntu 8.04 install. For instructions on how to get a functioning Ubuntu Hardy install on an Eee PC, please refer to this.
First, add the these lines to your /etc/apt/sources.list:
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/netbook-remix-team/ubuntu hardy main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/netbook-remix-team/ubuntu hardy main
Now, open the terminal and enter the following:
sudo apt-get update
Then enter:
sudo apt-get install window-picker-applet maximus go-home-applet human-netbook-theme ume-launcher
First, you'll need to delete a panel. Right click any empty area of the bottom panel and select “Delete This Panel”. Don't worry - you'll be adding something like it to the top bar later. Right click an empty spot on the top panel and select “Add to Panel…”. Choose “Go Home” and click “Add”. An Ubuntu logo should should appear. Repeat this once more, but this time adding “Window Picker” instead. Now go to System > Preferences > Sessions. In the window that comes up, click “Add”. In the command field, type “maximus” (minus the quotation marks). Now go to System > Preferences > Appearance. Under the “Theme” tab, select Human-Netbook. Once you're done, right click on the menu area of the top panel, and select “Remove From Panel”.
To start using your Eee PC with the new Netbook Remix, simply restart your computer or press Ctrl-Alt-Backspace. If all goes well, your desktop should look similar to this:
