>I am not used to terminals and have no assistance from anyone I know IRL.
Trisquel uses Synaptic Package Manager to install new programs, libraries,
etc. It has an amazing GUI that looks great and is easy for anyone to use.
Because of this, for the most part, you do not need to know how to use
bash/the terminal.
>I have an ASUS usb wifi adapter, and if that is a problem, I will have to
work with what I have for the time being.
To check if it is compatible, you might need to use the terminal.
Just type lspci in terminal and tell us the output so we can determine
whether it is compatible. USB wifi adapters tend to have liberated chipsets,
but it's good to make sure before the switch.
>While I can't burn disks, I do have a usb drive
I'm not sure if you can make a USB device to install without a CD, but
someone else on here might know how.
>however I would like to install it on the hard-drive as my boot-up OS.
You will need a bootable version first, such as a USB device or CD. However
I'm stlil not sure if you can install Trisquel on a USB without a CD first.
