 ====ArchLinux arm installation on toshiba ac100====
+**UPDATE:** [[U-BOOT CM11 and ArchLinux multiboot]]
 I used [[http://archlinuxarm.org/platforms/armv7/trimslice#qt-platform_tabs-ui-tabs2|ArchLinuxARM TrimSlice]] base filesystem, \\
 [[http://gitorious.org/~marvin24/ac100/marvin24s-kernel/trees/chromeos-ac100-3.0-exp|chromeos-ac100-3.0-exp]] kernel branch by [[http://gitorious.org/~marvin24|marvin24]] \\
 and [[http://gitorious.org/ac100/abootimg/trees/master|abootimg]] by [[https://gitorious.org/~phhusson|phhusson]].
+**UPDATE:** the kernel links above are now dead, after wasting a lot of time to find and install a prebuild up-to-date kernel, i finally compiled it by myself, using mainline git kernel; see [[U-BOOT CM11 and ArchLinux multiboot]] for detailed instructions
 On my system there were ubuntu on emmc; so installed arch on SD.

 === WIFI ===
+**UPDATE**: unfortunately latest ArchLinuxARM-trimslice-latest.tar.gz image lacks some useful packages, needed to bring up wifi; so i downloaded (from 'core' section of [[http://it.mirror.archlinuxarm.org/armv7h/]]) and installed it manually :
+  pacman -U dialog-1_1.2_20140219-1-armv7h.pkg.tar.tar libnl-3.2.24-1.1-armv7h.pkg.tar.tar rfkill-0.5-1-armv7h.pkg.tar.tar wpa_supplicant-2.1-3.1-armv7h.pkg.tar.tar
+now you can proceed configuring wifi connection, you can use wifi-menu or directly wpa_supplicant
 tweak /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf to connect to your wifi:
 <file - wpa_supplicant.conf>

+As for now, you should downgrade you xorg-server package cause of use-pixman-glyph-cache.patch [[https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/32612|bug 32612]] \\
+in newer (1.13.0-4 and 1.13.0.901-1) package versions to avoid font rendering problems.\\
+Latest known working version 1.13.0-3 available in **fly-ac100** repo (see below)\\
+\\
+Also, good gles2 experience could be achieved only with 3.1.10-l4t-r2 kernel, that does not support suspend/resume functionality on ac100 (as for me at least).
+===Lets start===
 You may add repo **fly-ac100** into you **/etc/pacman.conf** to get some prebuilded kernels, drivers and utils for ac100.
