Trisquel Packages
Trisquel 5.5-Beta
- Announcement: 03, Mar 2012
- Updated --Satellit 11:45, 21 March 2012 (EDT)
- Download: http://devel.trisquel.info/makeiso/iso/
- Has i686 and x86-64 versions
The first beta images for the forthcoming 5.5 "Brigantia" release are ready for download here: http://devel.trisquel.info/makeiso/iso/ This time the images came a little later than expected because the amount of upstream changes -specially the move towards GNOME 3 and GTK3- required a much larger effort than usual. They also required a lot of compilation tests, those incomplete iso images that caused so much speculation... But it was fun. :) I'll right back to the list with every new iso that comes up for testing. The known bug list is here (please do not translate it): https://trisquel.info/en/wiki/brigantia-development The planned release date is March 24; I'll be presenting the new version at the 2012 LibrePlanet Conference in Boston: http://libreplanet.org/wiki/LibrePlanet2012/Schedule Let's get cracking with the bug fixing!
- Note: Install to Hard Disk is located in "System Settings" Or use command "ubiquity" from terminal.

Notes on Wireless
- from trisquel-users@listas.trisquel.info (sirgrant 01/15/2012)
The package wireless-tools is free software and is in the Trisquel repository. "firmware-ralink" is non-free software. If you read the copyright file it says you can only distribute it in binary form without modification meaning it isn't libre software. We can't recommend you install that package.

Trisquel On A Sugar Toast

Live image trisquel-sugar_3.0
You can download the (430MB) iso image from here:
Notes
To create a live USB disk with user data persistence, you can burn the image in a CD and use it to start a live session. Then plug the USB unit, open the terminal, and run "usb-creator".(usb-creator-gtk) A launcher application is coming.
The usb-creator helper is also included in the Trisquel 3 (and later) desktop applications. If you use a different GNU/Linux distribution or Windows, you can use FUSBi instead.
You can now log out of your session and login into Sugar. If your computer is a LTSP server, it would be serving Sugar already.
Configure a Trisquel edu LTSP server
You can follow the instructions in the Trisquel wiki.

You can install Sugar with the above method, but using this repository line instead:
