I know there's the option to do that and that's great but I'm an amateur when
it comes to the nitty gritty of GNU/Linux and I know that there are many
people whose knowledge is similar. It would be so much easier just to have a
minimal installation option in the installer for less technical
Use network install, do not install DE, only core packages and utilities,
reboot, log in to console and build from here.
Right. Those things (add-ons and Firefox and Thunderbird and other
Mozilla-branded things like the Rust programming language as well as other
things) are all good candidates to be handled in a cross-distro way as well.
Currently the FSF-endorsed distros each solve that problem on their own
Most that I'm aware of already are, though there's sometimes a problem of
them not being available for Python 3 (in particular Pygame and Pyglet; note,
both of these libraries work with Python 3, so this is a packaging problem in
both cases).
I tend to think of my own libraries (sge,
Since Trisquel 9.0 will presumably be based on Ubuntu 18.04, I'm wondering if
there will be a minimal install option, ie; web browser and basic utilities
only. I'm very new to Trisquel and while it is a great OS, it took a while to
uninstall the packages I didn't need which would end up
what is the output of:
sudo lshw -class network

Note that this[1] is required for trisquel-builder to work with Flidas.
For some reason I get an error when I try to view "Changes", but the

It occurs to me that if creating a cross-distro free replacement
repository is realistic, a better target might be addons.mozilla.org
Firefox and Thunderbird addons are used more frequently and by
non-developers, Trisquel is already attempting to maintain a free
replacement[1] manually, and the

Thanks, onpon4. You would know much better than I how useful pip is
to developers, so I'm sure you're right. Do you mind clarifying though

Hello. A while back I talked about wanting to help trisquel. After a few
personal problems, I think I am ready to help now.
As Magic Banana suggested I read

Yeah, you're probably right. There's so much ambiguity in the license
statements that any automated approach aggressive enough to remove all
proprietary software would also

That would be a massive
I tried Wicd instead of Network-manager, it's the same result.
I reinstalled the ath9k driver (it's a dongle bought from technoethic which
still works as far as I can tell).
What else could I try ?
Thank you.
linux-libre isn't even allowed to mention the name of non-free
software.
I agree with onpon4. In addition, pip does not require cryptographic package
signing using tools such as GPG so you could be downloading altered packages
if someone breaks into the PyPI website and replaces a package with a
malicious version.
PyPI did in fact contain malicious packages in
