I'm finally typing from a shiny new Flidas install on my Thinkpad T61.
This has been a bit of a comedy of errors, but it seems painfully obvious in
retrospect and so I wanted to share.
Much as I hoped my problem was with unetbootin and/or the disk creator
utility on T7, nothing changed
As am I. I've got older hardware that can be put to use, a bit of time to
spare, and enough experience with frustrated windows users who "just want it
to work" to care.
That was probably all it was. I used unetbootin just out of laziness and bad
habits.
My Thinkpads would not run Trisquel 8, although for some reason the 32 bit

It took a few tries, but now I've got a nice little console set up, sleeping
