I noticed that upgrading to 9.10 and 10.04 were very difficult. Suggestions abounded to change the kernel and change the download ext number.
I spent a lot of time trying to unsuccessfully solve problems to fix my TV card, printer and upgrade to the present OS, 10.04.
my suggestions are as follows:
1 Include an older kernel with the new one as an option to solve potential problems, such as the TV card would need an earlier kernel to operate.
2. Suggest in a very obvious place that the system needs to be installed on ext 4, maybe by default the OS is put there.
3.Printer drivers were rejected as broken by a libcupsys file that was needed. Time was spent looking for the file. Why it was removed, I don't know.
Otherwise I love the changes, except the left buttons,:):confused: and keep up the good work.
