My Dell mini 10v came with older firmware, so my SL install was smooth sailing.
Just installed 10.6 onto USB jumpdrive, used bios settings to choose usb to boot, installed 10.6, shut down and pulled usb drive before rebooting. Might have had to reset bios to choose hard drive to boot, but that may not even be necessary.
When I installed the 10.6.1 update, I then rebooted from the usb drive and installed the netbook software to make the hard drive OS operational.
Frankly, I've had tougher problems with Apple hardware mac os installations. Takes about 10 min of your time and about an hour real time to do this.
