I know of three methods, there may be more!
METHOD 1: To install ubuntu or debian, and many other operating systems on a netbook, you can use my earlier post but with the ubuntu iso which can be found here or the Debian Iso
METHOD 2: However, there is an even easier way that doesn’t involve the use of a U3 smart drive. It is called UNetbootin!
Simply install Unetbootin from their homepage Run the downloaded file, select ubuntu, debian, fedora, etc. from the first dropdown menu.
Then just select the letter of your flash drive at the bottom. Hit enter, when it finishes downloading and setting up you have a bootable usb stick. Hit the restart button and hit F12 to enter the boot menu (if you don’t have a boot menu, then you probably have to hit F2 to enter BIOS, then set your USB as the primary boot device). Then you should proceed with the install following the onscreen prompts!
METHOD 3: The last method is to simply run the ubuntu wubi.exe in windows, this file can be found here Just run the application and reboot when you’re told.
Often people will say that their install “didn’t work” but with three methods…. well one of them has to, right?
