Thanks strypey for suggesting that I revert to Trisquel_7's Live CD or Live
USB stick ...
I have both,so it's just a matter of time before I have the opportunity to
try, after
I locate those items in my cluttered office and hoard of floppies & optical
disks.
It occurs to me that the O/S partition may have gotten full of old Trisquel
upgrades,
but I had assumed that the system upgrade would have cleaned them out ...
maybe not so !
tarting over with Trisquel_7 might get the computer into a functional state,
especially
if the Live Trisquel_7' Gparted lets me reformat the O/S partition.
In a long-ago series of threads, my several D865GLC motherboards gave me
fits, but it
never became necessary to upgrade its BIOS, and my workarounds have worked OK
up to now.
