Glad you could sucessfully burn the Trisquel CD.<br>
<br>
It sounds like your Mac Graphics Card is incompatable. <br>
You may be able to start it by modifying startup parameters by
adding "nomodeset"or "vesa" to boot line .<br>
<br>
(<esc> <tab> at boot menu (after language selection on
Trisquel)- edit boot line <br>
<br>
This is rather too advanced I fear.<br>
<br>
OR Use SoaS-v5 with simple graphics selected (2nd menu selection at
boot screen)<br>
I do not think SoaS-v6 has this option.<br>
<br>
<br>
Cordially;<br>

I still recommend VirtualBox which interfaces graphics and wireless
quite well.<br>
