How to install libreboot on a ThinkPad X60
I got a ThinkPad x60 (tablet version) from ebay.be to install libreboot on it.
I tried to compile libreboot on Debian and Parabola GNU/Linux but both failed, compling Libreboot on Trisquel 7 works fine so I’ll use Trisquel to replace the BIOS with libreboot.
I’m not sure that I’ll use Trisquel 7 as my daily driver since it is a bit outdated…
I might go with Debian Strech without the non-free repositories to get a fully Free Software Laptop/tablet. I’ll need to replace the Intel wifi adapter since this requires non-free firmware.
You’ll find a small howto install libreboot on a Thinkpad X60 below.
Build Libreboot
The latest version of libreboot isn’t available via a binary distribution so I decided to build it from source.
Download the Libreboot source
Download the latest libreboot image from https://libreboot.org/download/

Libreboot Installation
Backup
Backups are important. We’ll first backup the orginal proprietary BIOS before we free the laptop and install a Free Software firmware
The documentation that I found (see Links below) describes that the backup has 2 step flashrom_lenovobios_sst & flashrom_lenovobios_macronix.
The flashrom_lenovobios_macronix command fails on my Laptop/Table but I decided to continue with the installation since I didn’t pay a lot for the laptop on ebay.be.
