This is very short and incomplete. Just a few Do's and Dont's
- Follow the first install instructions of any of the available tutorials ([one example][1])
- Instead of installing wifi packages manually (I ran into lot's of dependency problems), just use bluetooth tethering and install everything with apt-get/aptitude)
- no need to decrypt the OSX partition, I was able to enter a new number in the disk manager and resize it without problems
- To detect encrypted HFS+ partitions you need to change the rEFInd settings: TODO
- sound was working out of the box
- I had lot's of problems with the nvidia graphic card and eventually "fixed" them by disabling the card altogether and only using the integrated intel chip. Use gfxCardStatus (version MUST be <= 2.2.1 I think) on osx, configure "integrated only"). later on, you can disable the card in linux with
echo OFF > /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch
as root.
