From 464076335d6ca5e6f801f863e95dc3847616a595 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Francis Rowe Date: Thu, 10 Mar 2016 23:20:52 -0500 Subject: Remove ThinkPad R500 support (wasn't ready for production use yet anyway) R500 support in its current state should not be merged in the master branch. This will likely not make it into the immediate upcoming release. This patch will be reverted in a separate experimental branch, for the time being. --- (limited to 'docs/src/install/index.texi') diff --git a/docs/src/install/index.texi b/docs/src/install/index.texi index ddcaa5e..0ed27b4 100644 --- a/docs/src/install/index.texi +++ b/docs/src/install/index.texi @@ -75,8 +75,6 @@ This section relates to installing libreboot on supported targets. @item @uref{r400_external.html,ThinkPad R400 (needed if running the proprietary firmware, or to unbrick)} @item -@uref{r500_external.html,ThinkPad R500 (needed if running the proprietary firmware, or to unbrick)} -@item @uref{t400_external.html,ThinkPad T400 (needed if running the proprietary firmware, or to unbrick)} @item @uref{t500_external.html,ThinkPad T500 (needed if running the proprietary firmware, or to unbrick)} @@ -146,7 +144,7 @@ If you are currently running the proprietary firmware (not libreboot or coreboot X60/T60 users running the proprietary firmware should refer to @ref{#flashrom_lenovobios,#flashrom_lenovobios}.
