I know I've had some issues a few times making a usb live installation when I
was on other distros - sometimes unetbootin fails.
Just yesterday I downloaded the debian iso (stable 7.7) and tried to make a
usb image but didn't succeed with the startup disk creator tool. It gave me
an error
Just hope that /dev/sdb isn't their hard disk!
Nothing beats Debootstrap :) https://wiki.debian.org/Debootstrap

yes. don't ever listen to me..
i'm a newb :(
sdb is clearly the usb stick.
But you should sudo blkid first and see if your usb is sdb or sdc or
whatever..
good point lembas!
In reply to #15:
*nods* let's hope it's not /dev/sdb. How'bout checking before that 'dd'
command. I recommend
lsblk
This lists your block devices.
If you'd prefer, you can get this list from the disks utility, found in the
Settings panel. For my convenience, I added a bunch of these
Using the GUI is easier. It's a bit like the text install (with which you
seem to have gone pretty far), only with some steps simplified.
Anyway, at what stage did the installation fail? (i.e. Downloading? Selecting
partitons? Creating users?). A screenshot of what was happening a second or
Well Im a complete new to linux and I was just following the installation
process from trisquel website, which uses the text mode, but I do want the
full encryption part not for any particular reason I just thought it would be
cool, I try the graphical install with mini just like many are

I managed to install it fine. I guess the installation was going wrong since
I left some space for a persistent file storage on my USB key and some
changes got saved wrong which caused next system installations to stop.
I doff my hat in SuperTramp83's direction. :-)
Hello,
I'm new on this OS and wanted to install it on my laptop. All isn't starting
well... First my recovery partition go wiped out... (can be my fault, ok).
I tried multiple times to install Trisquel 7.0 and its always stopping at the
same step: once I entered the main account infos and
I understand you are using the USB stick to install trisquel.
That error almost certainly happened because something is wrong with the
image on the usb key.
Verify the iso you downloaded - in terminal - md5sum nameoftheiso.iso
See if the output of the md5sum is correct (otherwise re-download
A fair number of WiFi chips need non-free software which Trisquel

now correct me if i'm wrong- it should be very possible to install trisquel
without internet connection if the user has downloaded the full iso (that is
-not net install but the 1.5 gb iso of trisquel 7). During installation one
can also select i don't want to use internet connection right
I'm using USB since that notebook doesn't feature CD player. I'm downloading
the image once again and I'll let you know about this installation. Thank you
for the fast answers Leny and SuperTramp!
I use the mailing list interface to the forum. So I wasn't trying to
gainsay you - my inbox refreshes just worked out that way. We've both
made perfectly good first line guesses so Anders is doing right by
trying both.
