1. Introduction

This document only describes how I installed Debian GNU/Linux on my laptop. It is not a reference document. It is up to you to make the choices for your laptop.

Remarks and contributions to this document are welcome.

Thanks to Klaas GADEYNE for his document, which greatly inspired this one.

Thanks to Yves R@"UTSCHLÉ for the english translation, as fast as accurate.

Thanks to everyone else who writes in linux-laptop.net, TuxMobil.org, or in the Debian mailing lists dedicated to these topics ( debian-laptop@lists.debian.org, debian-user-french@lists.debian.org, etc.)

Thanks, finally, to Loic and Rodolphe who insited enough to convince me to release this document, whatever its state was.

One can sort out in too much information, but nothing can be done without information.

This document is to be taken "as is," with no warranties.
