<DIV>Hi People,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I am looking for a new laptop, basically a laptop for traveling,
cheaper</DIV>
<DIV>and lightweight.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>It seems the Acer C7 from Google full fit my *hardware* requirements.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>But I am not planning to use Google Chrome os instead I need to run</DIV>
<DIV>Debian 7 on it.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I like to play with GNU/Linux on embeded devices like the ones
supported</DIV>
<DIV>with OpenWRT or even the Raspberry PI, usually all they come with</DIV>
<DIV>firmware files or disk images ready to be loaded and let me get them
up</DIV>
<DIV>and running quickly, I am not a hardware geek guy, so I don't want to</DIV>
<DIV>spend too much time dealing with the internal of the Acer C7
Chromebook</DIV>
<DIV>in order to load GNU/Linux on it.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>So, this is what i want to do:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>* Completely remove all the google OS stuff.</DIV>
<DIV>* I don't need to run windows, so I don't care is the replacement</DIV>
<DIV>firmware will not allow me to install such a crappy system in the
future</DIV>
<DIV>even if I sell the device later.</DIV>
<DIV>* I want to run something 100% free since it power up, for those who</DIV>
<DIV>have this laptop can you tell me if the wifi drivers, camera, network</DIV>
<DIV>adapter and so on are 100% free ?</DIV>
<DIV>* There is a web page which describe the procedure in a single page ?
I</DIV>
<DIV>know the coreboot website have a lot of information, but time is a</DIV>
<DIV>constraint, so there is a step by step instructions webpage with all
the</DIV>
<DIV>files, requirement and procedures to free the Acer C7 laptop and then
be</DIV>
<DIV>able to install a GNU distribution on it ?</DIV>
<DIV>* I found some prebuilt images at</DIV>
<DIV>http://johnlewis.ie/pre-built-coreboot-firmware-for-chromebooks/
there</DIV>
<DIV>are some official or daily rom firmware from the coreboot project in
a</DIV>
<DIV>similar way like the ones produced by the OpenWRT people ?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks.</DIV>

<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Even coreboot on Chromebooks is not entirely "free", as there are </DIV>
<DIV>several closed Intel binaries needed. Not sure is any non-free firmware
</DIV>
<DIV>needed for the Atheros card but it should be pretty open.</DIV>

<DIV>http://johnlewis.ie/compiling-your-own-coreboot-firmware-for-the-samsung-series-5-550-chromebook/
</DIV>
<DIV>and http://www.coreboot.org/Chromebooks/550_Chromebook_Build_HOWTO but
</DIV>
<DIV>the latter is slightly out of date. Just change the vendor and product.
</DIV>
<DIV>The same guy that bricked below followed the same instructions himself
</DIV>
<DIV>and got a straight SeaBIOS payload that worked.</DIV>

<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>No. That's why I created those.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>BTW, don't build in USB dongle support at the moment unless you can </DIV>
<DIV>de-brick - one of the guys commenting on my site bricked his when he </DIV>
<DIV>compiled it in.</DIV>
