Well, once I know what card will be used on the laptop, perhaps I will be able to have access to a machine that will have a similar graphics processor. Is there any possibility of some of the base requirements for the packages listed could be built along with which configuration was used with each port makefile? having access to the internet and a place to compile is a bigger problem for me than being able to find a working random monitor and usb mouse in some rich/middle class person's trash.
