Netbooks
Betavine are helping support Linux drivers for Ultra Mobile or ''Netbook'' computers. We currently have versions built for the ASUS EeePC, Dell Mini-9 and Toshiba NB-100 Ultra Mobile PC''s (UMPC) and one for the Dell Mini-9.
What's a netbook PC?
"A netbook computer has a small form factor, is low powered, and normally has a cut down version of the Linux Operating system. Many software packages are unavailable or not installed as standard. Added to these issues is the smaller screen size, meaning less space for the user interface of the Vodafone Mobile Connect software."
Netbook Setup
Setup your software management system to automatically install the VodafoneMobile Connect software onto your netbook.

Betavine recommend that users use the automatic setup method to install the Vodafone Mobile Connect drivers. This requires that you change the settings of your software package management system to allow it to find the betavine software. Otherwise download and install the software manually by selecting the download links.
Netbook Downloads
This section allows you to directly download the install files onto your Netbook PC.
Select the relevant download icon for your Netbook PC to get the software package and install with your favourite software manager or manually install.
