## Installing

Because the netbook has no CD-ROM drive you need to boot from a USB. See the guide Install from USB stick.

## Xorg

Setting up Xorg is easy on the Mini 11z. Just follow the guide for Xorg.

Kernel Mode Setting (KMS) and fast VT switching works well on the 11z. See "Early Start" section in Intel for more details.

## Sound

"Just works" with OSS, or ALSA

## Extras

### Webcam

UVC 1.00 compatible - should work out of the box, with the latest kernel (remember to add user to video group). You may use the `cheese` package to test it.

If you encounter an error about a missing gstreamer plugin (vp8enc), install the metapackage "gstreamer0.10-plugins", which will include "gstreamer0.10-bad-plugins", containing the plugin in question
