Wait a minute. You have an HP mini-note? One of these
http://h40059.www4.hp.com/hp2133/? Cool. What do you think of it? I'm
confused though. I thought the mini-note came with wifi working out of the
box. I also thought there wasn't any way to boot a USB drive in order to
install a different OS. They come with Suse, right? Any got Fedora
installed? Can you provide any info on what/how you did that?

Thanks.
