First upgraded BIOS to 1.07 using the old Packard Bell website (actually FTP). The R3series Windows exe creates a bootable CD/DVD for you that flashes the BIOS. Booting from USB didn't work, so used a Trisquel Live DVD. Running Trisquel from the Live DVD doesn't work properly: the system asks for a username and password that you obviously don't have. Then installed without internet, as using internet froze the installation process. Systems works nicely, including volume and brightness buttons.
