3.5 and Unebootin success with 3.7kernel

[BBOSAK2143]

A few months ago tried for 3.5 on my flashdrive. Was a no success with the 3.2 kernel. As had to format 3.4 for the move to kernel 3.7 on the main machine. Decided after the move and its success to try for it again! This time is up and running, of course is where am typing from! For some reason kernel 3.2 isn't able to handle the capability of Ultimate 3.5 on a flash, but the 3.7 kernel handled it very nicely! As am working on making it a bit quicker for my final semester might take some time but already have it past the point of booting to the KDE desktop and is on the Gnome. Tried a crazy experiment too, but was not successful. Was trying to change kernel on the flash but believe is a flop since booted right to the 3.2. Think it is not possible to change a kernel image in this state! Would be great to figure a way and am thinking about it! Would be great to someway change the kernel while in its ISO format as would just install automatically with the new kernel. The results on 3.7 kernel on my main machine just prove it was meant to be! 3.5 and 3.7 working side by side, compiz correctly functioning is a great deal, one that would be awesome on a flashdrive! For now is the perfect resolution to the errors that plagued me. Am happy no longer have to turn compiz off on the shutdown and will come up correctly on boot! Well am back to mess with this flashdrive as want to speed its boot time! Will see what happens and post back letting all know how to get it set right so is a bit faster on the flash! All suggestions welcome to increase the speed. Still like 3.4 and always will but moving up to 3.5 on the flash is a better deal! TheeMahn really pulled a winner with 3.5 as always kicks you know what!!!!

System>Preferences>Startup Applications - you can change what is started at boot. Also you can shut down services that arent needed in System>Administration>Services. If you do not have Services installed you can do so by installing

Code: Select all

sudo -s

Code: Select all

apt-get install gnome-system-tools

When Black Opal first came out I had a bootup fix that made it boot extremely fast on one of my laptops. Might have been a kernel parameter or something but I do not have it logged in my KB. Maybe someone else can chime in here with the answer. Hope these help...

Thanks Micro! Going to set that tomorrow as am anxious to try another experiment of mine! Getting to be a real mad scientist here and there! Am also going to upload a sort of help file for new users and upgrading to newer kernels. Hoping it will help and is things we sometimes take for granted! Have a delay on the old laptop as have to pull the keyboard out and get the CMOS battery out. I'm not going to make a special trip to the store! Will have to wait til more things compile for that trip! Am happy as you know what that 3.5 is now on the flash as last few times tried on the 3.2 kernel would never save any settings even though 3gigs was reserved for it! Now was just as simple as working with 3.4 to just start saving and setting things! To lighten the load I dumped most of the themes as only use the two I brought with me! Am a real sucker for those two themes and one is modified to contain the stoplight type for min, expand and close. Love the looks and has always been easier on the eyes! Learned the coloring deal from a Chinese distribution called YLMF 4. Version of Gnome was very similar to Cinnamon's desktop, but the main thing was color scheme made it easier to spend more time on the computer. Brighter colors just seem to cause me eye strain! Anyway their system was very intriguing in some points and do enjoy messing with it on VBOX. I did run that OS as my first Linux system, but does look quite like an antique when it comes to Ultimate! Still a few ideas are there I want to pursue, so will go at it again and still hoping to bring it back to present day!(Was outdated 6 months after release due to kernel change!). Currently, I was unable to get their new release when they combined with StartOS. I only have beta versions of YLMF 5 which lacks in the looks that YLMF 4 had! Their combine with StartOS has a server that is very slow. Not going to wait all day for download of it! My heart lies with Ultimate, but alas you never forget the first!!!!
