Note, I'm only attempting to make a image (copy) of the SSD in the Surface RT, so I only need basic functionality of the display, keyboard and USB port. I just read a note that the Surface RT will only run signed distress. Are there any openSUSE Arm ISOs that have a signed kernel? == t is important to note that Secure Boot is permanently activated on Windows RT devices such as Microsoft Surface RT, Surface 2, Nokia Lumia 2520 and other RT-based tablets. Since these ARM tablets are locked with Secure Boot, and there is no way to disable that option, there is no known method to boot them into anything other than Windows RT or its recovery image. == Thanks Greg -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] To contact the owner, e-mail: [email protected]
