I'm not asking you to start over but if you ever want/need to (which I doubt
will happen, but anyway) perhaps a Netinstall or Debootstrap will serve you.
(Debootstrap will probably require a lot of learning, though)(And Netinstall
might involve a network cable, or perhaps USB tethering, for
I've been playing around with netinstalls on Gnome-boxes and then with my
minimalist distraction-free netbook that is deliberately command line only
and I don't think I'll do a clean install any other way again. A lot of my
distro-hopping was completely unnecessary and nothing more than

I don't think I'll do a clean install any other way again.
There's the wonder of Debootstrapping(followed by Chrooting). Though the only
practical thing it's got going for it on an OS-less PC is that you can
perform an installation whilst doing other things with the

I've already outed myself as a middle aged low-socioeconomic status female
and not been flamed off the boards.
My T-61 is now running Belenos natively just fine and is only slightly less
zippy than it was with
As I've said above, though, unsupported is different from impossible to use:)
I get a black screen and can't even run live. It looks like a video card
issue to me, but somebody more knowledgeable would have to confirm or deny my
suspicions. I had to change the default video card on Aquemu to see the
cursor on Triskel. This is a separate issue than the kernel problem I
Most likely, Toutatis will become unsupported some time in April 2017.
Anyway, what problem did you exactly have with Belenos? Is it simply that
the LiveCD underutilises your RAM (which in that case I think I recall
another distro in which its Live CD would see less RAM than there actually
is, but everything becomes fine once the OS is installed).
And having
Does it remain black screen? I believe that's what happens with some radeons.
Don't know if there is a workaround.
You can find out your hardware with thelspcicommand.
Here's a workaround (not the world's best, though): When Toutatis reaches
EOL, change the repository entries in /etc/apt/sources.list to
http://oldarchive.trisquel.info/trisquel toutatis main
(and of course, do the same for toutatis-security and toutatis-updates)
since the Toutatis contents
Yep, I get a black screen and can't even run live off the USB stick. :(
Here's lspci:
noordinaryspider@ThinkPad-T61:~$ lspci
00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation Mobile PM965/GM965/GL960 Memory
Controller Hub (rev 0c)
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960
Still no luck. I'm trying to install mini from a USB stick and the RAM is
maxed out at 2 gigs.
It won't boot to a 3.15 kernel with 6.0.1 so I have to hold down the shift
key and choose an older kernel.
Is there a workaround or is it time for a new laptop when Toutatis reaches
EOL?
TIA
