Re: [Libreboot] Problems installing libreboot on C201

[Albin]

I just found another guide
(https://gist.github.com/jcs/4bf59314d604538a5098) that mentions a step
that's missing on libreboot.org: besides removing the write-protect
screw one also has to run "flashrom --wp-disable". This should explain
the permissions issue I had.
