I did that all be it accidentally the first time. Nothing at all

Hi,
The notes played by GRUB at boot time use the internal buzzer, not the sound
card, that's why you could hear these notes.
To understand the issue with your hardware it would help to use alsa-info.sh
like this (as root to using sudo):
alsa-info.sh --no-upload --output alsa-info.txt
You can
I bought a crystal usb sound card from thinkpenguin.com I can plug into a
laptop like that and maybe have the laptop come up talking. I like amixer
set Master 100% unmute && speaker-test to sometimes fix sound card
problems like these.

I am sorry, but I have bad news. I downloaded the image, sent it
to a 32-GB usb card and tried it. The system immediately found
the EFI partition and played the 3 notes in ascending order
within 5 or 10 seconds after powering on. I pressed Enter and
waited and waited and waited, left the room

Hi Martin,
sorry for the mistake in the HandBook. Of course I should have written:
wget https://slackware.uk/slint/x86_64/slint-15.0/iso/slint64-15.0-5.iso
wget https://slackware.uk/slint/x86_64/slint-15.0/iso/slint64-15.0-5.iso.sha256
then:
sha256sum -c slint64-15.0-5.iso.sha256
I will fix
That's how that's done on sourceforge.net. The webmaster would have to do
that, and now sourceforge.net is out of date on latest version for some
reason.

That download is happening now. It's the same url except that
the version number now is 15.5 which is fine and explains what is
happening. What I copied from the handbook is 15.0. I wish all
problems were this easy to figure out. A suggestion might be to
make the url refer to something like

Note that if you're in a graphical environment, switching to a virtual
terminal is achieved with ctrl-altF1, ctrl-alt-F2, etc., and at least
one of those terminals will be taken up by your graphical session. These
days, tty1 is usually devoted to the graphical session; possibly tty2 as
well.
I am not sure what is wrong but everything looks normal in the
image-getting phase. I lifted this right out of the handbook:

I appreciate all this information because I got in a bit of a
hurry and ended up at the wrong site and the web monster showed
me a 3-GB image for slint which I downloaded. The download went
fine and the image flowed like good wine on to a 4-GB usb stick.

Hi Martin,
to clarify, I have provided an image of an installed system as you requested:

You'd be better off installing the most recent version in an USB stick (or a SD

Thanks. I've wanted to give slint a try and this would be a
perfect time to try it.

I think slint can fill the bill for you. You can put slint on a flash
drive if you need to do that and have it install for you.
