Finally got a complete OS running on a $150 computer.

@baggouras never tried it inside ubuntu. It worked with the validation angstrom image though.

Ive got a Beagleboard XM Rev C, and i want to install ubuntu like your video but i have no idea where to begin or what do.

Ive got a 8GB SDHC microSD with RAW state. Could you please give a break-down of your process of getting it like that, im totally lost and would greatly appreciate the help.

@fadysamy123 google ubuntu-netbook-10.10-preinstal­led-netbook-armel+omap.img ARM, its the WIKI page.

key to fast speeds is USB key instead of slow SD card.
