Waldwolf: rotate script

== NetBoot Installation Move ==

I moved the NetBoot portion of the documentation, as it's part of isntallation instructions. The pre-installation notes were intended for README-like things, not so much actual procedure.

== Screen Rotation ==

I followed your guide to create the screen rotation scripts/events, and after acpi force-reload and restart it works just fine. But when I reboot the machine, I have to reload and restart acpi again, otherwise it won't work.

== rotate script ==

for me in order to get it working i have to modify <br>
x41tsdown.sh
<pre>
#!/bin/sh
XUSER=`who | grep ' :0' | cut -d ' ' -f 1`
if test -n "$XUSER"; then
su - $XUSER -c "DISPLAY=:0 xrandr -o right"
su - $XUSER -c "DISPLAY=:0 xsetwacom set "stylus" Rotate CW"
su - $XUSER -c "DISPLAY=:0 xsetwacom set "cursor" Rotate CW"
su - $XUSER -c "DISPLAY=:0 xsetwacom set "eraser" Rotate CW"
su - $XUSER -c "DISPLAY=:0 xvkbd&"
sleep 2
fi
</pre>
x41tsup.sh
<pre>
#!/bin/sh
su - $XUSER -c "DISPLAY=:0 xrandr -omright"
XUSER=`who | grep ' :0' | cut -d ' ' -f 1`
if test -n "$XUSER"; then
su - $XUSER -c "DISPLAY=:0 xrandr -o normal"
su - $XUSER -c "DISPLAY=:0 xsetwacom set "stylus" Rotate NONE"
su - $XUSER -c "DISPLAY=:0 xsetwacom set "cursor" Rotate NONE"
su - $XUSER -c "DISPLAY=:0 xsetwacom set "eraser" Rotate NONE"
sleep 2
fi
killall xvkbd
</pre>
