Hi all! -- I have nightly fwts-live builds running pulling in the
unstable-crack fwts ppa (master-master-next ;))
I've uploaded todays build and would appreciate a quick sanity check :)
http://people.canonical.com/~vanhoof/fwts/live/nightly/fwts-live-amd64-nightly-usb-hdd-20130320-0.img.bz2
... I've tested in both UEFI and legacy on a x220 and in qemu this evening.
The upload today will not be the permanent location of nightly builds
... We'll push them to fwts.ubuntu.com once we're a +1 on the builds and
update the installation wiki:
