Bug Description
When following the 'Restoring Your System' How-To,
the sudo dpkg -i system76-driver... command hangs on an unmet
dependency (build-essential). As it doesn't prompt for the install CD at this point,
it can create confusion for customers unfamiliar with Linux dependency problems.
Possible Solutions:
1: Put instructions in the Wiki for commenting out the CD line in the /etc/apt/
2: I kind of like the idea of creating a BASH script for customers to run and posting it in the wiki. The script would take the place
of the wget and dpkg commands by 1) comment out the CD line in sources.list, download the driver and it's dependencies, 3. Install the driver and 4. Maybe even run the driver.
All the customer would have to do is download the script and double click it.
(I know we talked about another way to fix the problem within the driver, but I can't remember how it worked...)
