It has gparted 0.24 that you will need in the live cd to be able to install the system. It also has kernel 4.4 and the bcm driver and a script to install all that.
Press F12 on boot and Choose:
UEFI BOOT > UEFI: YOURPENDRIVE BRAND
In my case:
UEFI BOOT > UEFI: KingstonDT microDuo 3.0 PMAP, Partition 1
(Note that a SanDisk pendrive always failed to boot the ubuntu livecd for some reason) Note that the livecd sometimes didn't boot at the first try (black screen) there is some problem with the graphic driver.
Open a shell (control+alt+T)
cd /cdrom
cp kernel_v4.4-rc6_with_wifi.tar.gz /home/ubuntu
cd /home/ubuntu
tar xvfz kernel_v4.4-rc6_with_wifi.tar.gz
cd kernel_v4.4-rc6_with_wifi
sudo dpkg -i gparted_0.24.0-1-getdeb1_amd64.deb
Click on the Install Ubuntu 14.04.03 LTS icon.
Configure as you like BUT DON'T ENABLE DOWNLOAD UPDATES WHILE INSTALLING NOR INSTALL THIRD PARTY SOFTWARE. It will freeze your installation. If you don't believe me, just try and happy reboot.
I Shrinked the Windows 10 partition on Windows 10 (Going to my computer > right click > Manage > Disk Manager, choose to shrink, I left it to 100GB). It is very recommendable that you do that from there, don't resize from Gparted. If you changed to AHCI SATA mode, you'll need to change back to RAID to boot Windows 10 to do this. Sorry!
I gave it 100GB for / and 200GB for /home, 100GB extra for testing pourposes as ext4 and the rest, 8GB, for swap.
If when continuing you get an error of choosing a boot partition, you didn't boot in UEFI Mode, you used Legacy. Bad doggy. Read again my instructions.
From a USB 3.0 (on the right port of the laptop, it shouldn't matter) to the SSD disk it took approximately 3 minutes to install the system.
Open a terminal (control+alt+t) Go to your pendrive
cd /media/<youruser>/<yourpendrivename>
cp kernel_v4.4-rc6_with_wifi.tar.gz ~
tar xvfz kernel_v4.4-rc6_with_wifi.tar.gz
cd kernel_v4.4-rc6_with_wifi
chmod +x install_kernel4.4_with_wifi_and_nvme.bash
./install_kernel4.4_with_wifi_and_nvme.bash
Reboot (maybe twice, first time the graphics sometimes don't work, dunno why) and you have wifi.
Sometimes there are graphical artifacts, but after installing gnome-session-flashback (I don't like unity) they don't appear anymore (login with Metacity).
To gain back windows access without changing the SATA mode every time I found this link: http://www.tenforums.com/performance-maintenance/15006-attn-ssd-owners-enabling-ahci-mode-after-windows-10-installation.html
Which I haven't tested yet.
Hello I have problems downloading the package and installing it on the live installer. The names don't seem to match. Can you explain how to download this kernel_v4.4-rc6_with_wifi.tar.gz file?
