The best way is to open synaptic and remove the gnome parts you decide to be
useless "manually" (which is a pain in the neck - I agree with lembas here

I am able to find a lot of packages but I am not able to delete any of them.
It says I am not the owner. Do you know how I can delete them?
I've looked into the idea of making a virtual "console" to simplify game
development, but discarded it. There's nothing about that kind of thing that
makes any aspect of game development easier. All it would serve to do is add
unnecessary bloat.
I instead moved on to develop the SGE Game
hmm okay then 16 bits or more would work. Although maybe virtual consoles are
too complicated at this time to achieve or not worth it yet. I still will
continue to look at this aspect but not for a long time will it if ever
happen.

My bad then, I mis-interpreted it.
Put this in a terminal :

~/.local/share/applications/*.desktop; do app="${app##/*/}"; echo

It should display all the apps you got on your system.

You don't need anything to make a rescue disc. You just use the installation

You can install all the free sotware you want just as on the gnome flashback
triskello..
But don't install heavy (on resources) applications because if you do it will
get slow just as in gnome.
On the modem. Probably you will prefer to do everything with your LibreCMC,
NAT included, so maybe you want to check if you can disable NAT in your
current modem-router. Double NAT might be problematic. You may want to buy a
cheap one-port modem and get rid of your current modem-router.
Or
Your partition is too small. I recommend you to make the boot partition
around 500MB at least. I prefer to put 1GB.
The idea of make a separate partition for boot is to make backups of it
without caring of what file system it uses, So, if something goes wrong you
can simply put it back.
Keep
/usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh only installs "libdvdcss2", not
VLC.
What are the remaining authentication errors? It may simply be that a mirror
was down.
Unless you have a justification (I am not saying they do not exist!) for
separating /boot from /, do not separate it. More partitions means a greater
probability to not properly dimension them. You then end up with a full
partition while another partition is almost empty.
The disks can be tested for defects and performance issues from the eponymous
utility in the "System settings" (click the button in the upper-right corner
of the window). On Trisquel, the "gnome-disks" is not installed by default
though.
'sudo lshw' gives a lot of hardware information
You can usually set your combo ADSL/cable router/modems to a 'modem only'
mode or just switch on bridging. The router will then get a public IP address
and you won't be having to trust your ISP. Your ISP might be spying on your
local area traffic even though they have no legitimate business
That command is just a (uselessly) lengthy equivalent to:
$ basename -s .desktop /usr/share/applications/*.desktop
~/.local/share/applications/*.desktop
Add 'grep' to only list the names containing "gnome":
$ basename -s .desktop /usr/share/applications/*.desktop
It is quite probable. It used to be the case that /boot could not be
encrypted. It may still be true.
Use the package manager to remove the oldest kernels. onpon4 suggested
'aptitude' that runs in a terminal. It looks like you are more at ease with
graphical interfaces. That is why I suggest you the "Synaptic package
manager" in the "System settings".

I haven't, but you might be interested in getting Replicant's SDK instead of

Because they only certify fully free products sold by vendors. If Minifree or

I have one concern: I'm pretty sure Microsoft requires any ARM device running

on the market.
If it weren't for that, I wouldn't consider this to be a particular problem.

The program is so small so I think not. It plan to send it to Francis though

there. However, I'd like at least one more person to try it out first. Have

yes qubes uses fedora and debian kernels.
whonix in qubes is using xen hypvervisor not virtualbox.
This isn't a "threat to Replicant--" it will still exist, and won't lose any
users over this. The people that use Replicant are people that care about
libre software, and probably wouldn't give a hoot if MS dual-booted Android

This isn't news, at least not that we should really care
can you try sudo mount /media/cdrom0?
that is ok hack and hack.
IT certainly is nuts and a waste of energy to debate against something you

SO again, either i'm psychic, or you also told me you use debian to use non
free video drivers like calinou does...
Take your pills.
I find it interesting you ask about this on the trisquel forums... They are
based on xen hypervisor, fedora and debian.
but if you use a windows vm obviously thats proprietary. They also are gpl2
and gplv3 for obvious reasons.

If you are going to try to install xfce from a clean base, keep in mind that
