Hi, Steffen.<br>
<span class=""><br>
Tracey forwarded your email to me and I've CC'ed it to the Bio-Linux<br>
</span>mailing list in case anyone else has the same question.<br>
<br>
I've already upgraded several Bio-Linux 8.0.7 machines to Ubuntu 16.04<br>
LTS, but broken packages dependencies mean that a lot of work will be<br>
needed to get everything working. At present, we are seeking funding to<br>
do the necessary work.<br>
<br>
The Bio-Linux 8.0.8 point-release that my student Will McCaffery has<br>
been working on will address the main problem with the 'old' Linux<br>
kernel in the current Bio-Linux 8.0.7. However, this will make no<br>
difference to a Bio-Linux 8.0.7 instance installed to disk if you keep<br>
Bio-Linux up-to-date (i.e. not running it from a USB-stick) because it<br>
will then have the same kernel and updated packages as the new 8.0.8:<br>
<br>
# login to an installed Bio-Linux instance and open a terminal<br>
sudo -i<br>
apt update<br>
apt full-upgrade<br>
apt-get autoremove<br>
