Kernels - All previous, current and future Linux Lite Kernels will be available throughout Series 2 & 3, 4 and so on...
Nice work Jerry & the Team.Installed it to a 32GB USB stick, set it to download updates etc. during the install but it didn't do that for some reason.Runs fast, should be good on a hard-drive install.Couple of changes I've discovered so far, I can't reduce the number of recently used entries in Whisker to 0 anymore, 5 is the lowest.I see it now uses the buttons from whatever theme is in use as backgrounds for the indicator plugin icons, but it still messes with the display of the panel behind that & the date/time plugin.When copying files & the file operation progress box is shown I can't minimise the folder window to just show the copying progress box, it goes minimised too, only way to have it shown without the window up as well is close the window.This only happens working on the volume LL3 is installed on, to or from another volume it works as expected, the window can be minimised & the progress box stays up.Maximised or normal window makes no difference.Just a few things I've noticed with it that's different to LL2.8.Some of it I imagine would be XFCE stuff like the panel behind the indicators etc..The progressbar/box behaviour I didn't see with the beta.One the whole I think it's pretty impressive A little off-topic I guess but I think still relevant...sort of...with the install process (Something Else) I had to tell the installer not to reformat my existing system swap (by setting it to 'do not use') even though that was on a different partition to the blank USB I was installing to, in fact I've noticed that several times when doing a manual install of some distros.If it's missed & the existing swap gets formatted it must set it to swapoff as I find the existing system shows 0 swap when that system is running again & it has to be set to swapon via G-Parted so swap gets used again.That's something I've seen with LL & Mint installers & I think I saw it with Debian installer too when I was playing around with it a while ago.
Congrats and thanks to Jerry and the Team for a fantastic job. Just finished installing LL3.0
Tks to the team yet again!! 32 bit installed from DVD - smooth onto Fuji Si1520. Keyboard workaround ( Language and Keyboard settings) to UK. needed before wifi connection could be made. Updates installed. All running smoothly and seems very fast response... Great Job!!

I don't really understand the removal of Lite Control Centre either, it was a well liked feature. Also the removal of the Games menu is a detriment to me, although it can be created manually it is a disappointment it's not there by default. Not too keen on the new login screen either, the old one was much better.I'm sticking with 2.8 for now I think, although I may install 3.0 on a separate drive to try out. If I still don't like it I'm afraid it's back to distro hopping after 2.8 is no longer supported.
