Hello All,

I've been collecting information about how to install ironhide so this is not really an issue but hopefully a way to avoid it. As I have not found consistency out there on how to install it, find below a sequence of steps that I have put together from different sources. Hopefully I'm not too wrong. Any comment or help will be highly appreciated.

1. Backup Xorg.conf files
2. switch the boot vga controler in the BIOS from windows7/vista to others
3. sudo apt-get remove bumblebee. (I have not installed bumblebee wo I guess this is not required)
4. reboot
5. sudo apt-get install mesa-utils (is that really required??)
6. sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mj-casalogic/ironhide
7. sudo apt-get update
8. sudo apt-get install ironhide (I have also found "sudo apt-get install ironhide ironhide-ui" as an option. Are both the same thing?
9. apt-get install dialog. I found this in issue #9, don't know if it is required.
10. Reboot
11. sudo ironhide-configuration

Thank you

Javier
