我的Ibm T42安装Debian经历

自从在US买到T42后，总想有空在上面安装一个Debian。但wireless, fingerprint, 红外
一、安装Debian Base System，并进行Base Config;
Debian 的套件

* 依 成熟度 而言分：stable（woody）、testing（sarge）、unstable（sid）
* 依 自由度 而言分：main、contrib、non-free

stable（woody）: main contrib non-free
testing（sarge）: main contrib non-free
unstable（sid）: main contrib non-free

Debian distributions 的基本概念：http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/quick-reference/ch-preface.en.html

初学者安装前，读一下这三篇文章。
http://apt.nc.hcc.edu.tw/docs/debian_X/04_BaseSystem/install.htm

Debian GNU/Linux 3.1 -- Installation Manual
Linux 101: Efficient software management with the Advanced Package Tool

一、编译内核：
Debian-Kernel-Compile-Howto (Kernel 2.6)
从http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/下载linux-2.6.17.6.tar.bz2.
或者wget http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/linux-2.6.17.6.tar.bz2
apt-get install kernel-package ncurses-dev fakeroot wget bzip2
mv linux-2.6.17.6.tar.bz2 /usr/src
cd /usr/src
tar xjf linux-2.6.17.6.tar.bz2
cd linux-2.6.17.6/
make menuconfig
Select Load an Alternate Configuration File and enter the location of the configuration file of your current kernel,从/boot/config-2.6.X.X读入当前内核的configuration
You need "Networking > Generic IEEE 802.11 Networking Stack" and its
sub-options (WEP, CCMP, TKIP) and "Device Drivers > Network Device
Support > Wireless LAN (non-hamradio) > Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG and
2915ABG Network Connection". 
（注意：这里Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG一定不要选择Built-in，应该选择Modules。It's extremely important that you compile the ipw2200 support as a module, otherwhise it won't work http://gentoo-wiki.com/HARDWARE_ipw2200）
顺便将显示驱动编译进去(ATI Mobility Radeon 7500 with 32MB)

make-kpkg clean
fakeroot make-kpkg --revision=custom.1.0 kernel_image
如果成功，将生成/usr/src/kernel-image-2.6.17.6_custom.1.0_i386.deb;
如果失败，执行make clean; 根据error，执行make menuconfig重新设置kernel configuration

/etc/apt/sources.list:
deb http://www.backports.org/debian/ woody module-init-tools initrd-tools procps
apt-get update
apt-get install module-init-tools initrd-tools procps

Install your new kernel:
dpkg -i kernel-image-2.6.8.1_custom.1.0_i386.deb
cd /boot/
mkinitrd -o /boot/initrd.img-2.6.17.6 2.6.17.6
vi /boot/grub/menu.lst
initrd=/boot/initrd.img-2.6.17.6
shutdown -r now
uname -a 检查kernel version

二、wireless
1.从http://ipw2200.sourceforge.net/firmware.php下载firmware v3.0
Extract all files and put them in the directory /lib/firmware(有好多文章建议放在/usr/lib/hotplug/firmware，但有的version会出问题。目录设置在/etc/hotplug/firmware.agent)

2. apt-get install wireless-tools
3. #modprobe ipw2200 如果没有错误，
4. dmesg |grep ipw 如果没有错误，恭喜你，无线网卡驱动成功了。
5. iwconfig eth1 essid XXXX
6. /etc/network/interfaces

  mapping eth1
       map home 
       map work
       map none
  # The loopback network interface
  auto lo
  iface lo inet loopback
  # The primary network interface
  # auto eth0
  iface eth0 inet dhcp
  autho eth1
  iface eth1 inet dhcp
  iface home inet dhcp
       wireless-essid enter your wireless ID 
       wireless-key whatever your wirless key is
  iface work inet dhcp
       wireless-essid whatever your work wireleess ID
       wireless-key whatever your wireless key is
  iface none inet dhcp
       wireless-essid ANY
       wireless-key none

三、中文设置
1. apt-get install x-window-system-core gnome-core
2. dpkg-reconfigure locale
3. dkpg-reconfigure localeconf
4. download fonts

四、软件安装
1. apt-get install mozilla
2. firefox http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/
3. opera http://www.opera.com/download/
4. thunderbird http://www.mozilla.com/thunderbird/
5. acrobat 
6. 
五、待解决issue：
1. shutdown时，电源不关闭
2. fingerprint, bluetooth
3. 声卡
