The installer version itself doesn't matter much for what you want. The installer code hasn't changed since 1.0.5 I believe. The think you want to hack by your own risk is ilg-config.cfg (https://download.01.org/gfx/ilg-config.cfg) just removing comment marks (#) from the distro you want and pointing your installer to use your modified one instead the official one on 01.org. I believe you can do that by putting it on ~/.ilg-config and editing it locally without need to change installer code (src/configuration.c) or changing the CONFIG_URI path. > > At the moment I am stuck with an OS existing on two machines that I can't > really use.

I believe you should report bugs to the distro so they might provide a fix on their official packages. > > Many thanks, > Michael Thank you Rodrigo. > > ________________________________________ > From: Rodrigo Vivi <rodrigo.v...@gmail.com> > Sent: 16 April 2015 20:25 > To: Michael Burke > Cc: intel-gfx@lists.freedesktop.org; Becerra Ruiz, Lilia; Chacn Limn, > DanielX; Fuller, Michael; Flores Perez, Jimena > Subject: Re: [Intel-gfx] [Contact] Ubuntu 14.04 no longer supported? > > Hi Michael, > > I totally understand your concerns, but Installer project just support latest > Ubuntu and latest Fedora, regardless official distro's Long Term Support. > The reason is that in the long term our upgrade might conflict with official > updates causing issues to end users instead of helping. > > Since we respect the official distro package maintainers we don't override or > replace their work.
