Yes- I'd agree with you. I didn't take in the way you have pointed out

I'm not a writer. I'll probably read through and revise a bunch more times. I

Hey Chris,
great effort!! I was missing something like this; I will keep an eye on it.
Just a small correction: at the end of the 14th line, there own companies

Yea- that would be in a popular apps section. I've got to do some research on
that topic.
What about using Trisquel's manuals to fill some section and, reciprocally,
insert the new content of the book in Trisquel's manuals?
Please give a response, anyone...
Thanks,

If I'm running a pre-release version (20121201), can I upgrade to the final

reinstall.
I'm running a December 1 pre-release, and have been upgrading from apt,

Have it worked before?
Have you followed any specific installation guide? Which one?
Remember, Chris, that YouTube always requires nonfree software, namely the

download the video with something like UnPlug (a Firefox extension which I
really recommend for this; it's really easy, and you can also stream

I'm not sure the old model generally supported $10,000 license fees. At least
not in USD dollars. Though the new subscription model certainly seems to
think they can get away with it. Not quite sure how that is going to work.
I'm guessing Microsoft will probably discount the subscription for
Given my recent experience with unplug and youtube, I cannot second this
recommendation. In most attempts to stream a video, I get a maximum of
10 seconds of playback, then it just stops. There's a browser tab open,
with nothing but 'videoplayback' as an 'mp4' video object.
Cheers,
I can help you proofread it near the end. I like to think of myself as an
honorary member of the grammar police, if nothing else.
Some small wording issues:
- the original programmers suggests them being some of the first
programmers, while there were many before; was it based on a text
about hackers?
- Lisp is a programming language, not an operating system; Lisp machines
were developed by MIT, Symbolics and LMI,
I was not referring to the documentation that is specific to Trisquel. For
instance, the manual I recently wrote about chatting may be useful for the
book... and writing an analogue section in the book would lead to an improved
manual in Trisquel's documentation.

I think there's a huge lack of introductory resources for the target users
you describe, so I encourage you to keep with your idea of the book.
Every time I install a new version of a libre distribution for myself or for
other people, I start dreaming a lot on a help system for beginners.
Hello,
Have it worked before?
The OS is booting. But the boot menu never appeared.
Have you followed any specific installation guide? Which one?
I have downloaded this one from the following url, sometime ago. But now
this url is not working too.

It's not a good idea to use unsupported software.
Just something I've been curious about. Why in particular does Trisquel have
its own Firefox fork, rather than just using IceCat (with certain
modifications for Trisquel)? It seems that would ease some of the work it
takes to maintain it.
Possibly. I'm sure I'll try and rip as much content from other sources (whom
allow it that is) as I can.
One of the concerns though with pulling in content from elsewhere is it gets
too techy and hard to understand. I'd like to try and apply the keep it
simple stupid principle. That one

That's okay for me. I just want to learn how that syslinux.cfg works. Is
there any installation guide? Will that help?
Thanks.
