Normally, all should work out of the box, except the [Broadcom BCM4312](/index.php/Broadcom_BCM4312 "Broadcom BCM4312") which needs some tweaking.

## Installing

Because the netbook has no CD-ROM drive you need to boot from a USB. See the guide [Install from USB stick](/index.php/Install_from_USB_stick "Install from USB stick").

## Xorg

Setting up Xorg is easy on the Mini 11z. Just follow the guide for [Xorg](/index.php/Xorg "Xorg").

Kernel Mode Setting (KMS) and fast VT switching works well on the 11z. See "Early Start" section in [Intel](/index.php/Intel "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
