Read this post before trying them.  The installer has been reported to
work in a VM, but I have run into some issues when testing it on
physical machines.

Currently, you will get an error message during the "Select and install
software" step.  When this happens, press Enter to continue. You will
see a list of installation steps.  Arrow key down to "Install the GRUB
boot loader on a hard disk" and press Enter again to continue the
installation.

If installation was successful, and you want to install a GUI, you next
need to install xorg, a display manager, and desktop environment.

$ sudo apt install xorg

Trisquel's default display manager is LightDM.  It currently does not
work.  I hope it will be working after this Friday's meeting, but for
now as a temporary workaround you can use slim

$ sudo apt install slim

Trisquel's default desktop metapackages aren't in the repositories yet,
but several desktop environments are installable.  I have tested MATE

$ sudo apt install mate fonts-ubuntu

and Xfce

$ sudo apt install xfce4

I have been told that LXDE also works.  Unity is not installable at this
time.  GNOME might be installable, but a few dependencies might still be
missing from the repo.  Most other desktop environments should probably
work, but I have not tested them.

Some packages are still missing from the repo, notably abrowser,
plymouth, and lightdm-gtk-greeter.  Hopefully most of the missing
packages will be added Friday.
