If you hate the interface that NB remix has the devopers also included a way to go to the classic desktop. Then you just install the mobile package like we did before. I haven't tried it yet because of my next problem.
During install after the format and organizing of the partitions it hangs on 5%. It doesn't freeze but it zips right to it and stops there is no activity on the USB so i restarted. It did it again when I selected install on the boot menu instead of try. Any one else have this hang? Or does it just take a long time on the 5 and I am being impatient.
