Linux Lite Kernel

[firenice03]

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 [member=6891]light_user[/member] for this suggestion.

Open a terminal and do:

Code:

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

NOTE: 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.

Ran the 4.11 kernel update on the 32-bit mini.. Install process was smooth, no errors to report. All appears to stable.. 

For those debating on older hardware (Noticed on Dell Mini)
I did find the littlest of things - in both 4.10 and 4.11 on a laptop touch pad I couldn't click and drag windows around (terminal/Firefox/etc), using an external (USB) mouse this was not an issue.
*Most likely due to my hardware being old and not the kernel*

I'll try to hit the Kangaroo in the next couple days..


Thanks Jerry!!
