This was tested in Trisquel GNU/Linux Dwyn.

Minimum Requirements
kernel linux 2.6.29* or above
You can download recent kernel DEB packages from aligunduz.org, which has 100% FOSS kernel DEBs available: http://aligunduz.org/gNewSense I tested only with the 2.6.30.7 version
You must install in that order:
