Please make note of the kernel being used. 3.13.0-24 is the kernel for Linux Lite 2.0 to 2.6. The kernel for Linux Lite 2.8 is 3.19.0-33. So either this person downgraded the kernel, or upgraded from an older version of LL. The point of my comment is that new versions of Linux Lite will work on low end computers, older computers, with a matching kernel. I don't know yet if Jerry will do it, but I was hoping he would put both those kernel's in the Linux Lite 3.0 repository for us 'old' folk.

I used the upgrade path IIRC but I did do some 'fiddling' with firmware for DVB-T devices. Your comment is a good example of why we should keep notes - something I always neglect but shouldn't.

One of my favourite places, along with 'The Cloud'. Nice to see another local user on the forum! :)
