Icedove (the one I installed according to the link I provided above) has
certainly got it.
Nah, I won't (yet!). Thou my ex girlfriend will get it later on within
dist-upgrade to Lubuntu 15.04 seamlessly. ;D

I used a wrong terminology. Shall I call it free software hardware?
If you replace its nonfree VGA BIOS and revise the name to not use a
noun + noun construction, then yes.
If you call it hardware working with a free operating system, then
it's completely clear what is ok and what isn't. (E.g. AMD cards
aren't, while NVIDIA cards that ThinkPenguin sells are ok,
Awesome. That is what I needed.
Thank you.
There is no full listing of nouveau free software pci e graphic cards? I
could not find a graphic card on thinkpenguin.

This is pretty frustrating...sigh, still no progress. I used sudo vi to
insert and save what you suggested into /etc/rc.local. Then rebooted, still
coming up to terminal on boot.
Is there any harm in using sudo service lxdm start longterm? I was hoping to
take this laptop
It's not an exhaustive list but what users like you and me submit there.
Probably the usual: don't install random crap from the net but stick to the
repos. Use the NoScript extension for abrowser and whitelist with care. Apply
updates regularly. And don't run servers you don't need or have unused
packages installed. etc etc
Here's a collection of articles on
The system should really install the bootloader before installing software
after minimal so that a basic level of functionality is there in case of an
accident.
So I didn't restart the installer but I did everything manually.
Simply, mount the hard drive you have Linux on.
mount /dev/sdfoo /mnt
Mount special directories
mount /dev /mnt/dev
mount /proc /mnt/proc
mount /sys /mnt/sys
Chroot into the mount
chroot /mnt
Install grub
apt-get install
So I tried the unreleased 7.01 version and it works.
Some caveats - a) I've never done exactly this so I can't promise it
will work b) I strongly question the wisdom of running Trisquel on a
machine too small to run the text mode installer.
Having said those the procedure will be something like
boot text mode install

Yeah, my machine has 4GB of space. I suspect the actual reason the kernel
crashed was that I booted the machine in legacy mode and the legacy BIOS code
wasn't tested with Linux so the kernel mapped special hardware memory as
usable memory which caused bad things.
Seems you did better than I could remember off the top of my head
(i.e. /dev) in between the time I started typing and my next email
refresh. :-)
A pox on cheap BIOSes, I'm sure you'll agree.
So for other reasons (EFI support is flaky) I need to redo the above stuff
with grub-efi but I also need to install grub-efi first. I need to get some
network stuff running so I can do DNS inside the chroot and apt-get can
resolve the archives.
How do I get the net stuff working as well

It's under Acessories Other Products, the GeForce 8400GS.
No harm whatsoever. We precisely try to automatically execute that command at
init!
By the way, you can more simply write:
$ sudo start lxdm
In fact, you probably simply want to directly start the graphical session
(without the login screen). I believe the following command does so:
