CF-29 Mk2 distro suggestions

[droppointalpha]

I wonder if Mint 18 handles the built in ATI cards better in the CF-31.

[SHEEPMAN!]

Right now I'm investigating kernel panic on CF-31. (MK2) Both 32bit and 64 bit USB sticks. Hmmmmmmmmm.

More later.

More: And CF-53 MK2

Key word VFS

Kernel Panic... yeah. Don't want none of that.

Realized that I'm still on 17.2. Wondering if the 17.3's is worth bumping up to. I see there are some improvements. Maybe the driver manager can help with the ATI card?

[SHEEPMAN!]

I'm not recommending the OSDisc.com sticks for CF-31 nor CF-53 until I get this sorted.

[SHEEPMAN!]

Slightly OT.

OSDisc sent me a return label for the USB sticks with kernel panic.

We shall see.

I do appreciate the fact they are on the ball and read their mail.

Never used them myself but good to know they have good responsiveness and service. Refreshing even.

VERY!

I spent a few $ so I wouldn't have to look up persistence. I like the USB sticks....these were 32GB. Key chain kind....solid aluminum?

Need to check the MK2 (29). It installed o.k. Hmmm now which one was it?
WHICH ATI CARD?

Mk2 31 has a 6750M AFAIK

I copied the Mint 18 from the CF-29 MK2. Used a new to me program called "systemback". Not recommended yet for Mint 18. (hasn't stopped me yet) Basically does a system back-up and then offers choices. What I did:
1.Back-up to /Home
2.Convert to .iso
3.Burn to stick or whatever. (requires >4GB stick) Good thing I read that part.

I'm running it LiveUSB on my MK3 (30)

Check out MX-15 (anti-X) (pronounced antiques)

For the CF-29 I prefer MX-14. (On topic now)

[SHEEPMAN!]

Ok Mint 18 mate up and running on Mk2, just installed directly forcing pae, doing well, updating, will wait to customize stuff.

Did you find the MX-14 stick in the USB slot above the battery? On the Custom GPS Board.

I just remembered it last night.

That stick will work in all CF-29 to CF-30. 31 also if you tweak the mouse settings in grub.
