Currently the Ubuntu family ISOs (9.10 and later), Gparted CD, Parted Live CD, and SystemRescue CD, among others, support this feature.

thinkpad, x201, 10.04, lucid, blank screen, black screen, install, suspend, change brightness
Summary
As of August 2010, installing 10.04 on a ThinkPad x201 is non-trivial. The fixes have been worked out in many different forums, but I thought there might be value added in consolidating the process in one place. I'll try to present every step simply, since more experienced users probably don't need this HOWTO in the first place. If I miss any steps, or explain anything wrong, please let me know.

This is for everyone who owns an Acer laptop with this webcam. How long have you gone without being able to record video? Does YouTube's "Record from webcam" feature not even work for you? Taking pictures worked fine for me, but it always the video that was messed up.

How to manually migrate a wubi 9.10 or 10.04 install to partition
Source: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1519354
These are the steps required to manually migrate a wubi 9.10 or 10.04 install to partition (grub2 only).
The partition(s) must be created already - there are plenty of guides on how to do this. This example assumes the new install will be on /dev/sda5 and that there will be a swap on /dev/sda6. If there is no swap, just ignore lines containing /dev/sda6. If there is a swap partition it must be of type 'swap'. Change the device names as appropriate.
