Tony Travis. Release notes: The Bio-Linux 8.0.8 point release contains an updated Linux kernel to improve support for modern WiFi chipsets in particular and all the packages have been updated. This release is mainly intended to improve the use of Bio-Linux on a USB-stick or DVD. However, the 8.0.8 release also has "mdadm" pre-installed to make installation and rescue of Bio-Linux instances on "md" RAID simpler. PLEASE NOTE: Bio-Linux 8.0.7 instances installed to hard disk do NOT need to be updated using the Bio-Linux 8.0.8 point release. Bio-Linux is normally configured for unattended upgrades of core packages and will be upgraded automatically in situ. A manual update will be necessary to upgrade ALL packages installed: sudo apt update sudo apt full-upgrade Changelog: The Bio-Linux 8.0.8 point release was created using Tim Booth's "build-bio-linux" scripts updated and modified by Will McCaffery and Tony Travis: https://github.com/Bio-Linux/ -- Minke Informatics Limited, Registered in Scotland - Company No. SC419028 Registered Office: 3 Donview, Bridge of Alford, AB33 8QJ, Scotland (UK) tel. +44(0)19755 63548 http://minke-informatics.co.uk mob. +44(0)7985 078324 mailto:tony.travis at minke-informatics.co.uk From mkmodi at aau.ac.in Wed Sep 6 06:42:59 2017 From: mkmodi at aau.ac.in (Mahendra Modi) Date: Wed, 6 Sep 2017 16:12:59 +0530 Subject: [Bio-linux-list] Bio-Linux 8.0.8 In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: Tony, Thanks very much for the information.

You don't need to install the 8.0.8 point release on existing Bio-Linux servers, just update them normally: sudo apt update sudo apt full-upgrade The Bio-Linux 8.0.8 release is intended to make Bio-Linux work better on a USB-stick or DVD and make it easier to install onto an "md" RAID. There is a new version of "bio-linux-usb-maker" in Bio-Linux 8.0.8 that you can download from GitHub: > https://github.com/Bio-Linux/build-bio-linux/tree/master/Bio-linux-usb-maker Bye, Tony. -- Minke Informatics Limited, Registered in Scotland - Company No. SC419028 Registered Office: 3 Donview, Bridge of Alford, AB33 8QJ, Scotland (UK) tel. +44(0)19755 63548 http://minke-informatics.co.uk mob. +44(0)7985 078324 mailto:tony.travis at minke-informatics.co.uk
