your ThinkPad.
I recently installed Trisquel on my ThinkPad x60. Since the wifi card is
nonfree and will not work with Trisquel, I got a USB wifi adapter from
ThinkPenguin. I tested it while running Trisquel from a USB drive without
installing, and Trisquel recognized the device immediately and I was able

It was suggested in a previous thread that I use the text installer because
the graphical installer kept crashing. The text installer did not crash, but
