Hi Ronmamita.
I really, truly understand your frustrations. I have been their for so long
time and so often - and occasionally I still am. I am very glad you gave this
comment to Heather - as we should always remember to those helping us. For
sure, help and support - technical as well as
Don't worry.
Please plug your trisquel USB again and boot it.
Do not install trisquel. Select try without installing.
After you are in please install Gparted (I don't remember if it is installed
already) and then open Gparted and send me the screenshot.
Also open the file manager and send
If you want to try a little more you could install grub- repair

Thanks.

I do not know how to make it work. When I wrote the commands I got
OK- I've looked into this a little further. Debian's default kernel would
definitely not work, because it's missing support for the NAND memory which
is integrated into the chip. This can be dealt with in two ways:
*Re-compile the kernel with NAND support: it's possible- the Chip uses free
So existing power supplies and sdd/hdd drives won't work?
No compatibility - even more interesting and expensive - LOL, I may have to
chuck all digital paperweights and return to pen & paper.
apparently I don't even have /dev/dvd
I ran your suggested command but had a couple error messages:

*** Zero check failed in ifo_read.c:576
The CPU architecture has nothing to do with the compatibility with
peripherals. CPU with different architectures have different instruction
sets. Programs compiled for one architecture do not work on another
architecture. They must be compiled for that other architecture, to use its
Hi happy_gnu
I'm running Trisquel as "not installed" from the usb to comment here - Yay!
If it is convenient for you, could we schedule a live trouble-shoot session?
the screenshots are below, I do not see where Trisquel is "installed".
I may choose one of the fix-options:
Option 1.

I'm back in win7, the grub failed to recognize commands.
I'll reboot to the usb (not installed trisquel) - so you're requesting I go
to the USB pen to execute terminal commands, I was told that would write to
the usb pen...
I don't understand where Trisquel installed itself, and where I

Thanks. When trying, I get

No such file or directory

Open a terminal with :
dmesg -w
Then insert your dvd, you should be able to read the right path. (Maybe
/dev/sr0 ?)
Run the command again with the proper path to your dvd drive (example with
sr0)
dvdbackup -i /dev/sr0 --mirror
Well, the "connection" is: IBM designed the processor. It is like Intel/AMD
w.r.t. to your computers. Except that it is a totally different
architecture, the Power architecture, that Trisquel 7 (and most GNU/Linux
systems, and Windows, and current Mac OS) does not support.
Perfect.
1.- In the file manager please click on the disk that says "128 GB Volume"
In GNU/Linux everything is a file. So instead of letters like C: or D: your
drive should be called something like /sda1 /sdb /sdc /sdc1 it depends.

That's how I understood it. I haven't been able to find any
OK- so it's not violating the GPL because Linux only treats it as a data
file, and the execution happens independently of the kernel? That's rather
inconvenient: as you say, being legal makes them no less evil.
Yes. Linux and a firmware file are separate works: the license one bears
cannot impose restriction on the other.
I tried again and now I get a long line of

Unfortunately, there is not much you can do. Maybe try to clean it ?

I half agree with this.
I agree it's a bad idea to bring up Purism's activities.
However, if it's already been brought up, especially on a forum or other
channel about libre software, and it is not challenged directly, that gives
