<br />
Most of the steps are the same as for installing on Ubuntu 8.04, with the exception that the wifi works out of the box.<br />
If you can't find the answer to your here, take a look at:<br />

For suspend to disc, change the following lines in {{path|/etc/default/acpi-support}}:<br />
<br />
# Should we save and restore state using the VESA BIOS Extensions?<br />
SAVE_VBE_STATE=false<br />
...<br />
# Should we attempt to warm-boot the video hardware on resume?<br />
POST_VIDEO=false<br />
...<br />
# Save and restore video state?<br />
SAVE_VIDEO_PCI_STATE=true<br />
...<br />
# Uncomment the next line to switch away from X and back again after resume.<br />
# This is needed for some hardware, but should be unnecessary on most.<br />
DOUBLE_CONSOLE_SWITCH=true<br />
...<br />
# Set the following to "platform" if you want to use ACPI to shut down<br />
# your machine on hibernation<br />
HIBERNATE_MODE=platform<br />
...<br />
# Add modules to this list to have them removed before suspend and reloaded<br />
# on resume. An example would be MODULES="em8300 yenta_socket"<br />
#<br />
# Note that network cards and USB controllers will automatically be unloaded <br />
# unless they're listed in MODULES_WHITELIST<br />
MODULES="iwl4965 iwlwifi_mac80211 cfg80211"<br />
...<br />
# Add services to this list to stop them before suspend and restart them in <br />
# the resume process.<br />
STOP_SERVICES="netapplet"<br />
<br />
I enabled the switch away from/back to X as my hardware needs it. I'm not sure if this is true for all R61 models.<br />
<br />
Install powertop (run "sudo apt-get install powertop") and run it with "sudo powertop" to determine what is consuming the most power.<br />
You can use that information to decrease your power consumption.<br />
<br />
The current version of Linux Mint seems to have most of the Ubuntu facilities intact, but some of them are hidden.<br />
You can run synaptic by pressing Alt+F2 and typing in "gksu synaptic", I prefer Synaptic to MintInstall.<br />
