# Parabola Installation Guide
|
|
|
|
This is a guide on how to install parabola that i created to have a reference for my eventual future installations on a librebooted system.
|
|
I decided to write this because I found that following the original guide in the Parabola wiki was not sufficent if you want to have an encrypted disk and no systemd in your system.
|
|
Still, this is to be considered just a recap of what you will need to to if you want to install Parabola this way, do not consider this official (or even unofficial) at all.

|
some info on [Parabola GNU/Linux-libre](https://www.parabola.nu/)

# MODS
|
|
ive done a small number of mods to my stock T400, here they are:
|
|
# Libreboot
|
|
TODO: guide will be done
|
|
# Quad-core mod
|
|
TODO: guide will be done
|
|
# bluetooth
|
|
the bluetooth of the T400 is 2.1, you can easily upgrade the bluetooth 4.0 easily by swapping the card located behind the LCD front bezel
|
|
# Ultra-bay mod
|
|
TODO: who the fuck knows if i will ever do this
|
|
# Express Card slot
|
|
The T400 Express Card slot allows you to slot in any compatibile Express Card 54, i think the most used card is the one that gives you one or two (depending on the model) USB 3.0 plugs, with up to (i think) 5Gbps transfert speed. Cool shit.
|
|
# Parabola GNU/Linux-libre
|
|
The distro i use on my librebooted T400 is Parabola GNU/Linux-libre, a community-driven, "labour-of-love" effort to maintain a 100% free (as in: freedom) operating system distribution that is lean, clean, and hackable.
|
|
A guide on installing parabola with a encrypted root partition using luks and open-rc could be created in the future.
