I got x220 core i7. I can either log into Windows once and go to http://goodbye-microsoft.com/ or try the following. | |||
=Step 1: Get image files= | |||
* | |||
Since I have network access, I was going to put image files on a usb stick via http://www.debian.org/distrib/netinst#verysmall . However, this page leads to individual files and I wanted to download them all at once. According to Lenovo website, I have amd64 and here's [cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/6.0.3/amd64/iso-cd/debian-6.0.3-amd64-netinst.iso the link] for a complete package. If you want to collect other parts, try [http://http.us.debian.org/debian/dists/squeeze/main/installer-amd64/20110106%2bsqueeze3%2bb1/images/hd-media/boot.img.gz the link] but when I did it (note that you need to dd if=boot.img of=/dev/sdb(or whereever the usb is in order to convert and copy the img files onto the usb stick), installation failed. | |||
Other pages of interest at this point: | |||
* http://www.debian.org/distrib/ftplist | |||
I put the file onto my USB stick. | |||
=Step 2: Booting with the USB stick= | |||
Insert the USB stick and boot the new computer. Press the blue ThinkVantage button when the first page appears. A new page that allows alternative booting or BIOS setup will appear. | |||
Choose F12 to select USB booting. | |||
