I've recently found http://jenkins.trisquel.info/makeiso/iso/ from OMG Ubuntu
article.
I was staring eyes on http://mirror.fsf.org/trisquel-images/ for possible
aplha,beta version of Trisquel 8.0, though I can understand that only final
version can be found there.
I've visited
**GIMP** AND **ImageMagic**
Evince, qpdfview or Okular, Pdf Chain or Pdf Shuffler
Sybaptic, Hardinfo, Modem Manager GUI.
Packages: randr, gworldclock, cups-pdf, dpkg-dev, gksu, libnotify-bin,

I installed Trisquel GNU/Linux-Libre 7.0 LTS on 28 Nov. 2014, In other words,
Today is (two year or LTS) anniversary of Trisquel for me! And using Trsiquel
GNU/Linux as my primary operating system for two years. See How I do my
computing.
My earlier post was When will Trisquel 8.0 (Flidas)
Just got it! xkbset as discussed here works for speed.
Yes, worked for me. Thanks!
By the way is there any way to increase the speed of moving pointer through
mouse-keys?
Ok, I've done:
sudo apt-get install --reinstall xserver-xorg xserver-xorg-core xfonts-base
xinit
And packages are re-installed successfully. And I also restarted but still I
can't see mouse pointer on the Desktop!
Ok, I've reinstalled lightdm and now, I can see pointer at login screen but
not on Desktop. How do I reinstall Xserver? give the package-name. There is
no package with exact name xserver. There are x11-xserver-utilities,
xserver-common, xserver-xorg etc.
Just tried installing and configuring gdm. After restarting login screen
changed (as a result of gdm). When I login, mouse pointer displayed just for
2 seconds and then disappears again (before I reach to Desktop). So, still
unable to see the pointer and work with it.
Don't want to focus on How did mouse stop working. The issue is as explained
https://trisquel.info/en/forum/unable-see-mouse-pointer-without-mouse#comment-98758
It was USB mouse but now nothing to do with Hardware (Mouse). The issue is I
can't see "Mouse Pointer". Note that Now, I've no Mouse (Hardware) and hence
I want to control pointer with mouse-keys but the problem is Unable to see
pointer on screen. I've restarted but mouse pointer isn't
Good Point! Thinking Trisquel as its own distribution is required for
becoming Trisquel independent of (non-free) Ubuntu!
I've recently read article New cycle, what we achieved and what's to come. I
am curious to know any approximate release date/month declared or announced?
Yesterday, My mouse (hardware) stopped working and I removed (plugged-out)
mouse. Then I restarted my Desktop-PC. Now mouse pointer is not shown on
Desktop. In order to work-around, I've turned on Mouse keys but I can't see
pointer on screen. So, How can I get pointer displayed on screen

I found solution which is working:-
first of all it was my mistake that I created `~/.Xcompose` instead of
`~/.XCompose`
Install uim (Universal Input Method)
Add `export GTK_IM_MODULE=uim` to `~/.profile`
Restart the gnome-session
Now custom compose key sequence defined in `~/.XCompose` is

Yes, This is alternative solution I've set icecat as x-www-browser. And now I
can go for x-www-browser instead of sensible-browser
BTW, I've checked that /usr/bin/sensible-browser is a script which selects
browser by some logical steps.
If I run sensible-browser then it opens Abrowser. I've installed IceCat so I
want to open IceCat instead of Abrowser by means of sensible-browser.
So, How to change sensible-browser ?
By the way I've already set IceCat as Default Web browser From system

OK. Now where can I find list of programs (packages) that are installed by
