| 3 | - | This piece of shit hardware does not play nicely with Lenovo. If you've made it this far, hope you haven't pulled all of you hair out of your head yet. |
| 3 | + | This piece of shit hardware does not play nicely with Ubuntu. If you've made it this far, hope you haven't pulled all of you hair out of your head yet. |

| 5 | ## Important Info | |
| 6 | - The S205 uses UEFI and has no bios switches to disable it. | |
| 7 | - This means that we need to create an EFI partition and use the 64-bit version of Ubuntu (32-bit won't work!) and only use primary partitions | |
| 8 | - Linux Mint doesn't have EFI in it's partitioner for some reason | |
| 9 | - Wifi doesn't work for some reason | |

| 11 | # Steps | |
| 12 | - Create a live USB for Ubuntu 64-bit | |
| 13 | - While on the live USB installation, select "Do Something Else" and make an "EFI" partition of 125MB. | |
| 14 | - | - Partition the rest of the drive however you want ( / and swap, / and /home and swap, whatever) |
| 14 | + | - Partition the rest of the drive however you want ( / and swap, / and /home and swap, whatever). Use primary partitions only (you might be able to get away with an extended for /home but I haven't tried it). |
| 15 | - Install | |
| 16 | - Pray | |
| 17 | - Awesome, now Ubuntu is installed | |
| 18 | - Now, go into the BIOS boot menu and make sure that your boot HDD is FIRST, and the mysterious "ubuntu" entry is SECOND. This will enable your Wifi. | |
