Re: [Trisquel-users] novice questions about installation troubleshooting

[christian]

I'm actually trying to do that upgrade right now, but the reason I was using  
5.0 was that 5.5 would not boot at all, and I had to reinstall 5.0 after I  
tried upgrading.  Now that I've realized the problem was the acpi, I'm trying  
to upgrade again, but my connection is being very slow once again.

Thank you very much for your response though.  What exactly is acpi, or more  
importantly what are the consequences of disabling it?
