Re: [Libreboot] I can not boot using USB with iso non-UEFI,

[Wellton Costa de Oliveira]

Hello Bruno,

I also had to use another X60 with proprietary BIOS, put my HD it, I boot
the gNewSense 4.0 and installed without problem. In conclusion, I took the
HD and put on my X60 with libreboot and 100% okay, now I use a trisquel
7.0 (UEFI) to run live, but I am gNewSense user.
