Debian Wheezy on X1 Carbon

This would be a chef/puppet recipe if I had to do this kind of installation more frequently.

Kernel configuration: https://github.com/carlohamalainen/dotfiles/blob/master/config-3.11.6-for-x1-carbon

Installation notes: https://github.com/carlohamalainen/dotfiles/blob/master/x1-carbon-debian-wheezy-install.txt. The copy on github will be the latest, not this blog post.

# Notes for building Debian Wheezy from scratch
# on my Lenovo Carbon X1 ultrabook.

# Put a copy of the iwlwifi package on a USB stick
# so that the installation program can get onto the
# network: http://packages.debian.org/wheezy/firmware-iwlwifi

# Do a normal install using the amd64 DVD-1 ISO image, copied
# to a USB stick using dd. Set the boot methods in the BIOS
# to "legacy only". Beware that changing this option can break
# an existing installation!
