Trying to install Wheezy on an Asus Zenbook UX32VD
Hello,
I'm trying to use the latest beta of the Wheezy installer to get an OS
on my new Zenbook.
I did this by DD'ing the netboot iso to an USB stick. This seems to
work, I can boot from this USB stick and start the installer.
The first challenge I get is that my Wifi needs to load some firmware
files. There is a partition labeled Firmware that supposedly is for
that, but no matter what I try (either the .deb files, or the firmware
files itself), they do not get picked up. I've worked around this
problem by using a wired Ethernet connection instead.
The second challenge is getting a boot loader to work. I cannot find an
option in the BIOS to set it to "classic" mode, so it looks like I have
to go the EFI route. However, the installer only offers me to install
grub-pc and not grub-efi. Has anyone getting the installer to work with
EFI? Exactly what partitions should I have for this?
