I looked in

- what about 14.0.5?
Hi Thierry,
I don't have your hw details, but I have debian trixie + TDE testing installed on an
old 2011 laptop and it works
without any issue. Maybe you should give a recent debian another try before aiming for
older versions?
I understand your computer won't be connected to the internet, but Debian is a rock
solid distro and I am surprise you
would not be able to install it on an old computer, as long as the architecture of your
computer is still supported (I
assume it is 386?)
RW access to floppy is broken in TDE
Access to devices is controlled by the linux kernel, it has nothing to do with TDE or any
DE for that matters. User
programs simply don't have direct access to any physical device in linux, it all
happens through kernel system calls and
the kernel is the solely responsible piece of code for reading/writing to any device.
Cheers
Michele
