[Gnewsense-dev] Installation on a Thinkpad X60 (i386) with libreboot

[mark]

Hi there,
I installed Ucclia on a Thinkpad X60 with libreboot.
That's what I came across so far:

- internal disk is detected as /dev/sdb and the usb key as
/dev/sda (but no problem because 'Libreboot uses the GRUB payload by 
default, which means that the GRUB configuration file (where your GRUB 
menu comes from) is stored directly alongside libreboot and it's GRUB 
payload executable, inside the flash chip.' -> 'you don't have to 
install the GRUB boot loader to the master boot record' so no need of 
setting up Grub on your hard disk)

- Uncheck desktop environment when reaching tasksel -> otherwise the 
installation cancels

- black screen after reboot -> I managed to get to the console by 
rebooting the system with the keyboard shortcut again

- Installation of xfce and slim display manager -> works fine

- Problem with high whining noise by the processor on idle: powertop 
solves this problem: http://libreboot.org/docs/misc/index.html

- apt-get install libstdc++
...
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
...

Somebody might be interested to meet up at the Chaos Computer Conferene 
in Hamburg on the 27th of December and the following days? We could 
maybe write a revised documentation together.

Cheers,
