OK so I've got the correct md5sum. Why won't the disc load whether it is on a
USB stick or CD? I tried the CD first. Then I tried a USB drive. Neither
works.
On my HP machine I press ESC during boot. It opens a screen with Unetbootin.
I see choices for the HDD, the Sandisk USB drive, and the CD/ROM drive. I
select the Sandisk drive and the machine begins loading. The problem is that
it loads the OS on the HDD instead of the Sandisk drive.
How do I run Trisquel from the USB so I can check it out for a day or two to
decide if I want to keep it? This is my next step but I'm being thwarted by
this bug.
I've been here for almost two weeks and have yet to run this OS. Years ago I
put Ubuntu 10.04 on this same HP machine. It took a year for me to get enough
correct answers to get it functioning fully. Thus GNU/Linux was a hobby OS
for me. I really want to make the switch away from my Apple computer. I don't
want to wait months or a year to get a new OS functioning fully.
Should I forgo Trisquel since in the near future Cononical will be making big
changes that will affect Trisquel? I'm too new to really know how difficult
this will be. So far my GNU/Linux experiences with loading OSs has been
difficult.
