@light_user you get that. Newer kernels drop drivers etc. This stops the kernel ballooning over time.
4.11 Linux Lite Kernel is now available for 32 & 64bit machines.This is the first Linux Lite Kernel that includes our Firmware package 'linux-firmware-image-linuxlite' (a.k.a linux-image-extra). Thank you to @light_user for this suggestion.Open a terminal and do:Code: [Select]sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install linux-headers-linuxlite-4.11.0 linux-image-linuxlite-4.11.0 linux-firmware-image-linuxlite-4.11.0 -yNOTE: If you have the nVidia proprietary graphics drivers installed, this kernel may break functionality with nVidia. If you have the nVidia proprietary graphics drivers installed and you still decide to go ahead with this kernel install, you should be competent in repairing your graphics drivers. If you aren't, DO NOT install this kernel.Ignore any errors in the terminal.IMPORTANT: Only install this kernel if you need it or if you are adept at getting out of trouble from a TTY.
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install linux-headers-linuxlite-4.11.0 linux-image-linuxlite-4.11.0 linux-firmware-image-linuxlite-4.11.0 -y
So for 32-bit 4.9... It did boot and got to desktop....Issues noticed right off:No mouse control - touchpad nor usb Display reverted to 800x600 (typically 1024x600)Missing log in soundSeemed to take longer to bootWas able to bounce back to 4.4
... IMPORTANT: Only install this kernel if you need it or if you are adept at getting out of trouble from a TTY.

The linux-image-extra is not important?I'm certainly open to that, given that it contains additional drivers. We'll take a look at the next Kernel release. Cheers.

Hopefully 4.10 will be hassle free.
