Introduction
The 'secret' to Snakeoil OS is the custom kernel. That is also it's downfall - not all computer hardware are supported out of the box because a lot of features/drivers are not included. This thread is for people to install Snakeoil OS using less mainstream computer hardware.
NB: This thread is for people who wants to install Snakeoil OS. If you already have Snakeoil OS installed on your machine, the process to tweak kernels is far easier, please refer to this thread instead.
