Hi Peter... 

Thanks for your feedback.. 

In the next release, I have removed xdm... 

Sometime soon I will probably try to get some auto-laptop detection.. but for now it stays as it is :D but thanks for the suggestion... 

I have fixed the aptitude problem in the next release... 

I will also include the script in the next release... 

Also the next release will also be released under GPL... 

/Martin

Hello Martin, 
I tested the install script. 
As I wrote an application in python to tune kubuntu after a fresh install I 
have some questions/suggestions: 

* Why do you install xdm? 
* You copuld determine the systems manufactoring name with the command 
sudo dmidecode | grep Product 

Product Name: 07JC8T 
Product Name: Vostro 3300 

Which returns more than one value that you could check against the known 
types. 

* After a fresh installation package installation lists and aptitude are not 
available: 
you could work around this with: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install 
aptitude 

* After a question the autostart service could be added automatically: 
echo 'vglclient -gl' > /usr/bin/vglclient-service 
chmod -x /usr/bin/vglclient-service 
if [ -d $HOME/.kde/Autostart ]; then 
ln -s /usr/bin/vglclient-service $HOME/.kde/Autostartvglclient-service 
fi 

... and maybe simelar to gnome and xdm. 
There might be a problem when script is run as root to get the right home 
directory. 

* Is there a special reason why the license is not GLP in conjunction/addition 
with the BEER-WARE license (I like that one)? 

I think about adding an installer for your software to my program as well if 
it's alright with you. 

Hope it helps.
