Well, I am happy how it worked out so far. And I just have the systems that where easy to get. The last one I bought was just for 15 Euros. So there was not much to lose. The only annoying thing is that I need to get new CMOS batteries. They are very cheap too but most of the time they are

Oddly enough I could get rid of the problem by installing Debian Buster in the end. Everything seems to work now. I don't get how this could even be relevant. And I tried with an other T40 which I recently got very cheap. There I had similar problems with Trisquel but not with Debian. (And

Tahnk you for your answer chaosmonk. Abiword just freezes. And it doesn't give any feedback. Even the commend line doesn't provide any additional feedback when this happens since the output I quote is given before the error happens when I start typing: [quote]$ abiword ** (abiword:1622):

I'm not sure if I get it: You recommend using a command like "gdisk -o /dev/sdb" on the GRUB command line before I attempt a normal installation with my usb stick? (There is no personal data since it is a new system which wasn't in use yet.)
