Install on Toshiba ac100

The Toshiba AC100 netbook is a Tegra 2 machine.

Is there a possibility that I might be able to install Ubuntu (any version) on it?

Solution 1:

For people to have at least one direct answer: (yes there is a Ubuntu kernel in this url)

This is a guide on how to do it - You shouldn't risk trying it if you don't know what you're doing: http://salaliitto.com/~gildean/ac100/wiki/phh/

(and whenever they use Ubuntu5.tar.lzma you take the Ubuntu7.tar.gz and whenever they use boot.img you use boot.32.img)

--- but before you do anything of it, try your luck with the guide as it is...

I don't take any responsibility for broken devices

Solution 2:

Work is actively in progress to add support for the AC100 to Ubuntu as part of the 11.10 release. Until this is complete (or for previous releases), there are a variety of recommendations floating around on the internet.

For my own device (not an AC100, but the dynabook from which the AC100s derive), I have had great success with the materials made available by the AC100 team in launchpad. The description of the PPA includes links to known working images and instructions for installation.
