Linux Lite Kernel

[Valtam]

To celebrate this, a new milestone in Linux Kernel releases, we offer this one off working kernel, the first of the 5.0 Series.



5.0-RC1 Linux Lite Kernel is now available for 64bit machines only.

'If it ain't broke...' If you don't need this kernel for a specific reason, don't install it!

These kernels are built for:

- Series 4.x (diamond/bionic 64bit only)
- Series 3.x (citrine/xenial)
- Series 2.x (beryl/trusty) - NB: No more kernels for this Series.

See here for an overview of what's new in 5.0-RC1 - https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=a...ures&num=1

This is not downloaded and installed in the traditional way, we are using wget to pull the files.

Open a terminal and do:

Code:

wget http://repo.linuxliteos.com/isotests/linux-headers-linuxlite-5.0-rc1.0_amd64.deb

Code:

wget http://repo.linuxliteos.com/isotests/linux-image-linuxlite-5.0-rc1.0_amd64.deb

Code:

sudo dpkg -i *.deb

HAVE FUN!



NOTE: If you use proprietary drivers, this kernel may break functionality with those drivers. If you have proprietary drivers installed and you still decide to go ahead with this kernel install, you should be competent in repairing your drivers. If you aren't, DO NOT install this kernel.

IMPORTANT: Only install this kernel if you need it or if you are adept at getting out of trouble from a TTY.
