Install Ubuntu 7.10 on VIA EPIA 10000 EG

Well I got 7.10 installed on my diskless VIA EPIA.

First I installed 7.04 using a bootable USB created with the windows version of unetboot-in.  As before (see previous post) something was seriously wrong with the sources.list generated and I was unable to get all of the repositories updated.  

Among other things that prevented me from upgrading to 7.10.

The solution it turned out was simple.  I disabled all of the repositories in source.list and then executed the upgrade.  This worked, and I now have a working version of 7.10 with sound working out of the box and video running under the VESA driver.

Now I will try installing the VIA drivers.
