An update (no early sleep tonight!):
1. All references to "5.10" etc. in previous email should have been "15.10".
2. Concern about monitor drivers, network chips, etc., are likely
misplaced, since I have tried to install from my 15.10 ISO alternate disk
from both my netbook (using a USB optical drive) and my desktop. Different
network access, and monitor, etc., in each case. Both have been involved in
successful installations of 15.04, previously.
3. Attempt to install 15.10 from ISO (alternate) to my USB hard drive (with
no encryption, no LVM) failed during the software installation. I was
offered the chance to retry this phase, and took it, leading to this error
message:
--- [!!] Software selection ]
Please insert the disc labeled: 'Lubuntu 15.10 _Wily Werewolf_ - {etc.}' in
the drive '/media/cdrom/' and press enter.
This was odd, since that is the ISO disk, and it was already in the drive.
I unlatched the drive, and reinserted the disk, pressed "continue" on the
screen, and the installation merely looped. I'm stuck. Failed installation.
The only thing left to try at this point seems to be to try an install of
the regular desktop 15.10 ISO, which I have downloaded but not yet burned.
I'll leave that to tomorrow. But what I must have is a fully encrypted
install. Maybe I should try plain Ubuntu?
