Thanks, Will. 8)
The first step/command is correct. Half way there.
The second step/command needs one small change.
The Line
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS"
Should be changed to
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Linux Lite 2.0"
To make the change
1. Open the file manager, Thunar
2. Navigate to the /etc folder in Thunar
3. At the top area of Thunar type /etc (erasing what's currently there) and press enter
4. You should be in the /etc folder in Thunar now
5. Locate the file lsb-release
6. Open the lsb-release file as administrator --- rt-click on the file lsb-release, choose open as administrator
7. Type in your password
8. The file lsb-release should open
9. Edit the last line of the file
10. Replace the words -- Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS
11. With the words -- Linux Lite 2.0
12. Save the file
13. The end!
Did it work. Let's test it.
Type cat /etc/lsb-release
You should get the following output
DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
DISTRIB_RELEASE=14.04
DISTRIB_CODENAME=trusty
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Linux Lite 2.0"
