Re: Wireless hardware switch is off

In the spirit of love and well-being, if someone reports that their system's WiFi cannot be switched on, what is the good of telling them to download a new kernel or anything else?

Re: Probably the strangest ever request

I've got a problem which is driving me nuts. I am hoping MX devs can give some info, and maybe be of assistance. It started about three weeks ago when I read the article "The internet’s YouTube habit has the carbon footprint of a small city." About a week later I saw David Attenborough sa...

Bad ISP connection, countless ruined distro downloads over many years so must be torrent d/load. Laptop USB port not working (tried it). No OS on hard drive. Download must be on a CD (under 700 MB) and 32bit. Laptop is IBM Thinkpad R31. (Similar to this https://www.cnet.com/products/ibm-thinkpad-r31...
