  26. "priority=critical", and hit ENTER.
  27. Deployment, for Lenovo Edge E145:
  28. * Use unofficial firmware installer (to simplify post-install tuning)
  29. * Document laptop preparation for smoothest possible user install:

  40. Bugs (report to Debian and track here until fixed in stable):
  41. * Lots of core packages should be apt-mark'ed as auto-installed
  42. * root shell should use use skel files (with "dmesg n" added?)
  43. * documented use of TAB at install screen unusable with UEFI
  44. * documented use of "d-i partman-auto/method string crypto" is ignored
  45. (or maybe just needs _all_ vars included, from uninterrupted wipe)
  46. * task-xfce-desktop should recommend xfce4-session (not xfce4)
  47. - or xfce4 should only recommend (not depend on) packages like orage
