Debian Wheezy on a CF-19 MK-1
Posted: Mon Dec 08, 2014 5:09 pm
Hello all,
I picked this MK-1 up saturday and 5 hrs later (we had to Christmas shop) I was home. That was a long ride when you want to tinker, then I had to eat, clean house for company coming over. Finally I got to tinker, a couple hours later I had Debian loaded and booting.
I have xfce for a desktop and "tiny" runs fine, I did have to manually load iwlwifi and modprobe it to get wifi. I also had to unwrap the hdd and pop it into another computer to build the system. The installer (2 different ones) choked on grub, lilo and I was studying for finals at the same time. I could have plucked through the grub2 install but didnt want to take the time. Also a MK-1 fires fine on Knoppix.
I have been using it all day today at school and studying. I have been converted, I really like this little guy.
I will finish tweaking tiny after Wednesday finals are over. I plan to find and list all the modules needed so anyone else has an easier time loading Debian. Strangely the Debian wiki lists a bunch of computers but no one has made a Panasonic page. We should change that or make a list here for the various flavors of Linux.
