David

Have done Ctrl+Alt+F1 procedure with the modification to ~/.profile

A procedure that has solved the problem.  I can now get the the installed
Trisquel 11 System using my user name and password.

Could Trisquel automate the process when one uses the Guix Package Management Tools.
It has recently become very cumbersome to set up a Trisquel System for development 
work.  My basic system involves having recent versions of GCC, Emacs, TexLive, and 
Python.

In practical terms, after installing a new Trisquel System I always have to

1. Increase root partition size.
2. Install Guix Package Manager.
3. Install GCC, EMACS, TexLive, and Python; all via guix install.
4. Perform the changes to ~/.profile

Installing Emacs and TexLive directly from the sources have recently become so 
labourious that the only solution for me is to use "guix install".

GCC is currently manageable and usually get things done in a few hours without 
a guix install.
