Fine. In all this process, no one actually said where the partitioning menu

Wait, if Debian isn't less free than Trisquel, then using Trisquel is kind of
pointless, besides being more frequently updated (being Ubuntu based).
The question is: is it really as free?
What would be the point of working so hard on GnewSense then?
And, I thought Trisquel actually prevents

After 20 years of use you should be able to tell that “partitioning menu”
means the menu which is about partitioning, and that a couple of buttons
below a list labeled “+” and “-” mean adding and removing from that
list, respectively. If you don't apply common sense and ignore people's
Trisquel 7 Live DVD insists that there is no defined root file system and

What I've done, of course, is remove the MBR or Master Boot Record.
That makes no sense. Forget about the MBR. The problem is, well, that you

The “partitioning menu” is the menu in the installer from which you
modify partitions. Nobody told you and the error message is written that way

I'm not sure that FSF would turn up to an event like that just yet, they have
limited resources and must use thme to maximum effect. That said you being

But you've completely misinterpreted your problem. Your problem has nothing
to do with how your disk is formatted; you just haven't chosen a root (/)
partition.

technically not clear whether or not libdvdcss is legal. However, it probably

The MBR stores a list of the primary partitions and a very small program that
is executed by the BIOS. There are plenty of tools to manipulate it using
GNU/Linux including “fdisk”, “cfdisk”, “parted” and
