I pretty much said everything on the title :D
Another thing, though: use a filesystem that doesn't have journaling, like
ext2. By its nature, flash storage can only be written to a certain number of
times, and journaling will weigh down on the life of a flash drive much
faster.
Do just the same but, at the partitioning step of the installer, choose a
custom partitioning and specify the flash drive as the drive to partition.
How do I get the wireless functionality to work for this laptop?
I tried sudo aptitude install b43-fwcutter firmware-b43-installer but it
tells me that no packages are found with the name of firmwareinstaller
or installed. Also with the apt-get command it says that the package is not
Those packages do not exist in Trisquel. Your wireless chip needs proprietary
software in order to function and Trisquel is only made up of free software,
as defined by the Free Software Foundation, so you won't find proprietary
packages in it. May I suggest replacing your WiFi card with one
Yeah, I've been told that before. Thanks people! :D
You can create an ext4 filesystem wtihout journaling.
How?
install the package system-config-printer-gnome and run
system-config-printer to setup similar to Trisquel 6

The TPE-NWIFIROUTER does not have a built-in modem. Your ISP will have issued
you a router with a built-in modem (probably). As it is set to 'router mode'
this router will issue a private IP address to any devices connected to it.

I disagree. In fact, the TorBrowser bundle comes with a number of extensions,
including NoScript: https://www.torproject.org/projects/torbrowser.html.en
LibreJS selectively blocks scripts. Servers can tell when you selectively
block scripts, and it adds to your fingerprint.
They can? How does not running certain scripts add to your fingerprint?
Servers would have to be explicitly checking for that. I don't think that

Hi Forna,
LibreJS should be compatible with Tor. If it's not, then it's a bug. I'm
unable to see the LibreJS icon when I install it in the TorBrowser bundle,
and I've filed a bug which I'll be working on here so you can track it's
progress: https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/index.php?43491
Plugins can be detected if you have JavaScript on, so those are a big no-no.
Extensions can sometimes be okay, but it's not always obvious when they
aren't.
The Tor Browser Bundle comes with NoScript enabled, but note that the allow
scripts from x.com type options are not in the menu by default. This is
deliberate. You're only supposed to use NoScript on the Tor Browser Bundle to
enable and disable JavaScript, and for its security features.
Ah I see. Thanks for the clarification! I'm going read up about this.

I just want to retract this one thing: I previously thought that JavaScript
was being disabled in private browsing mode, but it isn't. It's just that
some kind of bug in LibreJS causes the icon to not show up in private

So basically my worries already turned out to be justified...
Just to clarify - LibreJS does request all the javascript files required by a
web page through tags like normal. Then, in the user's browser, it sends
those scripts through a series of analyses and executes the scripts that it
approves.
I said it's a bad idea to *add* extensions. I didn't say anything about using
the NoScript or HTTPS Everywhere already included with the browser. Other
extensions could harm your anonymity, and it's best to stay away from them.

And of course LibreJS adds to your fingerprint.
It would be better to just follow the Tor Project's recommendations and stick
with Tor Browser, which they say is the only configuration of Tor you should
use for a a web browser.
I'm just a bit curious but would a USB hard drive survive the normal amount
of re-writing non-live systems have and be about as protable (and harder to
lose:) as flash drives?
So can I treat USB HDDs as normal HDDs?
The re-writing limitation is specific to flash memory, so it wouldn't apply
to any hard drive. From my understanding, the main thing that wears down a
hard drive is starting it up and stopping it over and over; they last longer
if they just keep spinning. I'm not sure how external hard
