My friend has a solid state drive and he said that writing temporary files on it is not recommended. I did not create a swap partition for him during installation. I was wondering if other steps are needed in order for temporary files to be written to RAM drive.

I know it is blasphemy in this community, but I'm willing to accept even a half-free solution. I think 1 hole in a Trisquel system is better than using Windows 7 or a less free GNU/Linux distro.

Getting a WLAN USB-stick would be the best option, the notebook would boot 100%, no matter what the BIOS prevents it to do. It is just a device, like a USB mouse or a headset that you plug into the notebook at runtime. Fortunately, connecting different USB devices is still one freedom even
