Hi Heather :)
I'm finding it difficult to remain patient as I wish to have a fully
functional Trisquel OS, your encouragement helps as I can walk away from the
unfinished task and read your encouraging comment, thanks.
I think the grub commands will work but I will wait to chat with someone
experienced with grub rescue before I leap to another unexpected error
message.
I finally received a email from Libiquity - so I am looking forward to a real
free source Trisquel machine :)
I hadn't considered a unboxing, but I will share the unboxing as per your
request when the Taurinus X200 laptop arrives, cheers!
