Wow, everyone is so helpful, kind, and knowledgeable! One of the reasons I
love the free software community. All of these are great tips and very
helpful. And I had no idea about HTML5-mode on youtube!
As far as the output from "mount", below is what comes back on one of the 3
laptops that I will be converting to trisquel from Ubuntu. Currently it has
Windows XP (it came with it) and some older version of Ubuntu:
/dev/sda5 on / type ext4 (rw,errors=remount-ro,commit=0)
proc on /proc type proc (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)
none on /sys type sysfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)
fusectl on /sys/fs/fuse/connections type fusectl (rw)
none on /sys/kernel/debug type debugfs (rw)
none on /sys/kernel/security type securityfs (rw)
none on /dev type devtmpfs (rw,mode=0755)
none on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,noexec,nosuid,gid=5,mode=0620)
none on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,nodev)
none on /var/run type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,mode=0755)
none on /var/lock type tmpfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)
gvfs-fuse-daemon on /home/ld/.gvfs type fuse.gvfs-fuse-daemon
(rw,nosuid,nodev,user=ld)
binfmt_misc on /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc type binfmt_misc
(rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)
I may still need to remove Ubuntu on one of the laptops before installing
trisquel though. This is because it has four operating systems: Windows Vista
that it came with, older version of Ubuntu, newer version of Ubuntu, and then
gNewSense that I could never get to work (couldn't even get it to go on the
internet through a wired connection)... On that particular laptop I may need
a way to uninstall either one of the Ubuntu versions or gNewSense (Vista was
impossible to remove - our college IT guy tried and failed...). That's
because when I tried to put trisquel on it, it told me (in the bios, I
think), that you can't have more than 4 operating systems at the same time.
But first things first. Monday I will try to replace ubuntu with triesquel
one laptop at a time. I'll leave the laptop with 4 OS for last.
Thanks again very much!!!
