I couldn't find it using a search either.<br>
There used to be a group (Luna?) that met at Gander Mountain on
north Parkway, but life got in my way.<br>

<div>The SED Linux Users Group (SLUG) is looking for
people who are willing to come speak on topics relating
to Linux. As the overall knowledge of our makers group
is quite vast, and the use of linux in hacker spaces is
common, it is my hope that someone could fill one of the
speaker slots. This speaking opportunity would also
give the speaker a chance to advertize Makers Local 256
and all that we do.<br>

<pre wrap="">These are the notes for how I preformed my custom Debian installation:
The laptop is named "Shiva".
See this link to add non-free firmware to initrd.gz:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.n0r1sk.com/index.php/Debian_Remaster_Netinstaller_-_Integrate_Firmware_bnx2x_and_Preseed">http://www.n0r1sk.com/index.php/Debian_Remaster_Netinstaller_-_Integrate_Firmware_bnx2x_and_Preseed</a>
Here's the FAQ:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://wiki.debian.org/DebianInstaller/FAQ">https://wiki.debian.org/DebianInstaller/FAQ</a>
Here's how to preselect things in grub.cfg so I don't have to do it when installing:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/amd64/apb.html.en">http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/amd64/apb.html.en</a>
Debootstrap instructions for when the graphical install doesn't do what I want:

Instructions for using UEFI to boot directly to the linux kernel (without grub):
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://wiki.debian.org/EFIStub">https://wiki.debian.org/EFIStub</a>
Shiva has an "Intel centrino wireless N 2230" network card.
deb <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://http.debian.net/debian/">http://http.debian.net/debian/</a> jessie main contrib non-free
apt-get install firmware-iwlwifi
Follow these steps to make the installer work with that wifi card:
Download and extract the firmware:
wget <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://debian.gtisc.gatech.edu/debian/pool/non-free/f/firmware-nonfree/firmware-iwlwifi_0.40_all.deb">http://debian.gtisc.gatech.edu/debian/pool/non-free/f/firmware-nonfree/firmware-iwlwifi_0.40_all.deb</a>
mkdir iwlwifi
dpgk-deb -x firmware-iwlwifi_0.40_all.deb iwlwifi/
Extract the initrd.gz:
mkdir initrd
cd initrd
zcat ../initrd.gz | cpio -iv
Copy over the files:
cp -a ../iwlwifi/* .
Rebuild initrd.gz:
rm ../initrd.gz
find . -print0 | cpio -0 -H newc -ov | gzip -c > ../initrd.gz
I'm using btrfs subvolumes, so once I had wifi the graphical installer was useless:
ROOTDIR=/media/btrfs/Debian_Root
ROOTPARTITION=/dev/sdb6
mkfs.btrfs -L Shiva_Linux $ROOTPARTITION
mkdir /media/btrfs
mount $ROOTPARTITION btrfs
btrfs subvolume create $ROOTDIR
btrfs subvolume create $ROOTDIR/../Linux_Home
btrfs subvolume create $ROOTDIR/../Data
debootstrap --arch=amd64 jessie $ROOTDIR <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://http.debian.net/debian/">http://http.debian.net/debian/</a>
#Copy over everything in the .../etc folder to $ROOTDIR/etc/
mkdir $ROOTDIR/boot/efi
mkdir $ROOTDIR/media/btrfs
mkdir $ROOTDIR/media/Data
#Mount everything needed to set up UEFI booting
mount proc $ROOTDIR/proc -t proc
mount sysfs $ROOTDIR/sys -t sysfs
mount /dev/sdb2 $ROOTDIR/boot/efi/
cp /proc/mounts $ROOTDIR/etc/mtab
mkdir $ROOTDIR/boot/efi/EFI/debian
chroot $ROOTDIR /bin/bash
apt-get update
apt-get install sytemd systemd-sysv linux-image-amd64 firmware-iwlwifi vim btrfs-tools efibootmgr iw sudo less
update-initramfs -u
#Set efi to boot the kernel
#Make sure we're not in a mounted direcory, and unmount everything
cd /
umount $ROOTDIR/proc
umount $ROOTDIR/sys
umount /dev/sdb2
umount $ROOTPARTITION
