Thanks for the info! :) I might have to look more into the Kepler cards. I actually just ordered a new desktop from ThinkPengiun with a Geforce 8400GS. Hoping that card works well and I get some 3D acceleration! It looks like h-node says that card works with nouveau drivers but it wasn't

you said, "Boot to the netinstall image. Install the base system. Do NOT install the Trisquel desktop, Triskel desktop, or Trisquel-mini desktop." I'm embarrassed to admit I don't know what a netinstall image is.

If you get an "access denied" message, that means that you need root privileges to access the folder; type "sudo nautilus" or "sudo pcmanfm" into the terminal and then your password and the file manager will open with root privileges, which will allow you to change system folders so be

Backing up browser setting certainly makes reinstalling easier. You need to show your hidden files (click on "view" in Nautilus or PCManFM and check "show hidden files") to find them. Then just copy you .mozilla folder into your USB drive and back again into your new install. It's not a
