How do I do this? I want to retain the original hierarchy files and folders
also.
If you have an idea or want to improve upon something that others may
eventually benefit from, then go for it while you have the interest and
momentum on your side.
Indeed. Their post shows much confusion over various topics and conflating
different things together. Despite this it is still possible to suss enough
out that they are not committed to having an 100% free OS:

I tried it in a virtual machine, and nothing I tried to run had working sound
(including ports of games that I know should have sound, like Doom).
Regarding that thread, it's the only thread I ever took part in on that
forum; I joined specifically to ask that question because someone here
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KolibriOS#Supported_hardware
It looks like it supports audio at least to some degree, if the Wikipedia
page is right.
I have to agree. It also seems not to support sound at all.
KolibriOS is pretty much useless. I tried it a little in the past (I had a
pentium 1 that I wanted to put to some use) and while it is impressive from a
technical perspective (how fast it boots, and how little they were able to
compress all the stuff they put in the floppy version) it
Is it non-free? Their views on free software do not change the status of the
code. It is quite confusing.
I did not, but now, I know, thanks!

I was looking into this a few weeks ago. Its seems like a nice "easy" way to
do this is to use SyncThing for syncing the calendars between computers and
devices.
Haha, thanks for the encouragement. Just do it. I get it.
Why don't you try with an unencrypted boot partition.
/boot
/root
/home
/swap
yes, when the disk isn't encrypted. I just tried. I still can't make grub
install work. I tried all the methods I know of.
I think I'll stick with an unencrypted 32bits Trisquel install for now. At
least I know this worked.
Did you know it was non-free?
Thanks jxself
The full ISO doesn't have the bug. The issue is only with the netinstall ISO.
Still, this is weird. I must be doing something wrong, since I could have
grub installed when the disk wasn't encrypted, with the full iso.
Even with the netinstall, though grub wasn't displayed, I could boot when the
disk wasn't encrypted.
Though all I do is follow the Libreboot method to a
I don't know. Their message shows confusion on several fundamental topics
though.
Yeah, you land on the FVWM desktop after the installation and first boot. The
root menu has various other window managers to choose from. MWM works out of
the box but Openbox must be installed first.
"But Syllable is free"
Of charge perhaps but they seem to have very interesting views:

Oh, I don't know about that. I based that sentence on the Wikipedia article.

It says the license is GNU General Public License.
Thanks!
Those look good. So, that is the default x when you make an install of LBSD?
Running startx gives you that GUI (the one in the videos)?
I wish there was a menu bar at the bottom, but the right click is also
usable.
And it seems to be moving alright.
Thanks bunch for these.

I really can't say. I've only tried it a few minutes in Qemu just to see what
it looks like. I guess it's OK for web surfing. I would compare it to an OS
ten years ago or fifteen. Something like what MacOS used to be when it was
still the System, or OS/2 version 3 Warp.
loldier, how good is Syllable, (SNG=Syllable Not GNU)?
Noted, thank you.
I'm redoing the install quickly, and since grub-install didn't want to
install on either /dev/sda nor sdb, I'm seeing that my drive is sdXX_crypt.
I'll try that if it still fails.
You need not installed "grub", i.e., GRUB Legacy. "grub-pc" is GRUB 2.
It worked with me. I didn't break the flow, didn't step back -- just forcibly
removed the stick -- and tried again at the end of the installation at the
usual step where it prompts for the Grub loader.
yes, unfortunately I did just that.
I'll try this now maybe:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/1414124
no luck :(
I did that many times, it still stays on /dev/sda
Then I tried to refuse the grub install on the MBR, which gave me the
possibility to choose /dev/sdb instead.
It properly launches on /dev/sdb, but still fails...
The stick being in or out doesn't change a thing for me, whether it's
When installing the Grub boot loader, let if fail, remove the stick and try
again. It will let you try it multiple times as lpong as you don't cancel the
installation. You don't have to start all over, just try the boot loader
installation again as many times as needed to make it understand
Many thanks, I'll read and try right now.
Read this,
https://trisquel.info/en/forum/netinstall-0
Trisquel netinstall has a bug. The device is misinterpreted. The installer
tries to install the bootloader on the USB stick. Remove the stick and try
again. The installer mistakenly thinks that /dev/sda is the removable media.
Ok, I'm finishing my netinstall, and grub (grub2) refuses to install.
I choose to install it one the MBR (master boot record).
After trying to execute grub-install, I got this:
The execution of " grub-install /dev/sda " failed. This error is fatal.
Then I can either continue and try to install
