Installing Ubuntu on the MSI Wind
Installing Ubuntu 8.10 on the MSI Wind is pretty standard. The easiest way to get going is to simply boot the Ubuntu 8.10 Desktop Live CD from a USB CD-ROM drive and then start the installer. If you have a Wind that was pre-installed with Windows XP, and if you want to keep that OS, then just make sure you choose to do a Custom disk layout. Otherwise the installer will try to resize the XP partition. It is much easier to simply remove the unused D: partition and then use that space for a swap and root partition. Your preference may vary of course.
Getting the Wireless Interface to work
The Wind comes with a RealTek RTL8187SE PCI Express card. This card is not supported by default but it is fairly simple to compile and install the driver. The following should do the trick.
wget http://launchpadlibrarian.net/18533836/rtl8187se_linux_26.1023.0928.2008.tar.gz tar xvfz se_linux_26.1023.0928.2008.tar.gz cd se_linux_26.1023.0928.2008 ./makedrv sudo ./wlan0up
After executing the wlan0up script, Ubuntu should notice the new wireless interface and you can choose your network from the NetworkManager applet. If you want to permanently install these drivers then execute the install script. Just be warned that the install script does a reboot after installation without asking for permission. Also see this bug report for more information: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/246141 Don't forget to actually enable the Wireless card by using Fn-F11
Disabling the trackpad while typing
Sentellic has released a driver for the touchpad on sourceforge: http://sourceforge.net/projects/fsp-lnxdrv
