Hi Israel and Jack, An alternative to several iso files ... is to ship a script or two (with dialog or zenity interface) so that the end users can add/upgrade kernels if they wish. But if there are problems with drivers in the 3.2 system, it is better to offer separate iso files.
I think it would be a good idea for people to keep this current version and test it in computers of various age, for example with newer wifi and more than 2 GB RAM. I agree that the main version should be based on the 3.2 kernel (non-pae or pae with fake-pae installed). Maybe you can get an interesting discussion about it next Saturday meeting:-) Best regards Nio Den 2015-03-25 16:02, Israel skrev: > Hi, > Ok, now I see why this is broken :) > I think I will simply go back to the working configuration beforehand. > > On 03/25/2015 09:50 AM, Nio Wiklund wrote: >> Yes, this is correct: >> >> You need either a tarball with several kernels or several tarballs. >> Several kernels will probably make the tarball oversized for CD, but OK >> for DVD and USB.
