With live mode, you are stuck with the given hardware support. Anything you install will be lost upon reboot. If you want a permanent fix, you'll either have to stay with LL 2.0 and install the extra software 2.2 offers, or install 2.2 and follow altman's instruction in post #9.

I've installed LL and other Xfce-based distros to quite a few older systems and they always end up feeling like they got a new lease on life.Quote from: altman on December 08, 2014, 08:41:29 PMThanx for the review Gold_Finger , like the way it s written .Thanks altman.
