Linux Lite 5.0 Final Released

[k0nsl]

Hi team,

I am excited and happy about this new release, appears to be a a feature-rich update. However, I haven't tried it yet. The only downside I can see, is that there's no upgrade path, even running latest LL. But nevertheless, I will install LL 5.0 once I have some time and taken care of some other things.

Thank you.

Faithfully,

All good. Iso downloaded without hitch.  Had to take two tries to get etcher to successfully do USB.
Install from USB - quick and trouble free including updates.  Laptop Si1520 3GB RAM Intel twincore - One partition
Like Dark Theme option  Fast and smooth
Spot on again team!!

After a lot of problems during the day i was finally able to get a usb stick to boot windows 10 and then was able to create a usb stick with LL 5.0 and it installed.

Rufus, Yumi, Multiboot and other multi-boot applications are not supported.

Sorry, it seems to me that Rufus is incorrectly being described as a multi-boot application - I can find nothing on the Rufus home page that indicates it is other than an ISO to USB flashing utility.

I don't think it is. I think the post is referring to some other tools that do allow the creation of multiboot  USBs and Rufus is just mentioned as not supported.

My original post (above )was made before rebooting the laptop  LAN connection.

On rebooting - logging on password ( upper and low cases) worked as expected.  However unable to Verify action such as Lite tweaks or install zoom.deb or access add/delete software
BUT was able to set up wifi passwords to two separate routers

Keyboard language English (UK) throughout,
Keyboard settings
Number lock reset on restart unticked 
Keyboard model Fujitsu Amilo laptop  - These settings usually work fine on this Fuji lasptop  As with LL4.6
Keyboard layout English UK 

Not sure what is going on  Any ideas welcomed.
PS.  On installing I had used the keyboard identification routine - yes/no to various symbols
Jerry PLEASE DELETE THIS. Now on Installation section. Sorry and thanks.

Is it possible to upgrade from 4.x or does it have to be a clean install?

Is it possible to upgrade from 4.x or does it have to be a clean install?

As stated in the release announcement post

There is no upgrade path to or from RC releases.
There is no upgrade path from Series 2, 3 or 4 ( 2.0, 2.2, 2.4, 2.6, 2.8 | 3.0, 3.2, 3.4, 3.6, 3.8 | 4.0, 4.2, 4.4, 4.6, 4. 8 ) to Series 5.

So, no, it's not possible and yes, it has to be a full clean install.

Thanks, I should have read those more closely.
