ABOUT LFA (Linux For All) 64bit Live System – Build 230608 – with Gnome 44 and kernel 6.4.0-rc4-amd64-exton :: Create you own LFA/Ubuntu installable 23.04 system!

Linux For All (LFA) Build 230608 with Gnome 44
is a simple remaster of Ubuntu 23.04, code-named Lunar Lobster. It’s a total rebuild. I.e. nothing is left of the old LFA system. NOTE: Ubuntu 23.04 will be supported (only) until January 2024. To be able to upgrade Gnome from version 42.4 to 44 I first had to upgrade Ubuntu from version 22.04 (supported until April 2027) to 23.04.

The system language is ENGLISH.

NEWS ABOUT LFA Build 230608
1. All packages the ordinary Linux user can wish for are pre-installed. Study the full packages list: http://lfa.exton.net/lfa-installed-packages-230608.txt
2. Kernel 6.4.0-rc4-amd64-exton is used. You can of course switch to Ubuntu’s original kernel if you prefer that.
3. The Desktop environment is Gnome 44. (Ubuntu’s original DE).
4. The main Web Browser is Firefox. So you can watch Netflix!
5. I have included Refracta tools (Refracta Snapshot) to make it possible for you to create your own installable Ubuntu 23.04 Live System once you have installed LFA to hard drive.
6. You can run LFA fast in RAM. Use boot alternative 2 Load to RAM – see below.
7. VirtualBox Guest Additions are pre-installed , which means (among other things) that you can run LFA in VirtualBox in full screen. Watch this screenshot: https://lfa.exton.net/lfa-23.04-vbox-fullscreen-230608.jpg

IMPORTANT ABOUT Refracta
You can use the Refracta Snapshot (pre-installed in LFA Build 230608) to create your own installable Ubuntu Live DVD once you have installed LFA to hard drive. I mean change everything and then create a whole new Ubuntu live system. You don t even have to install LFA to hard drive before you can use the Refracta tools. If you have plenty of RAM you can create a new (your own!) Ubuntu system while running LFA from DVD or a USB stick. Please note that the whole Refracta process (creating your new ISO) will only take 10 - 20 min! You can then install VirtualBox in LFA so you can test run your own created new Ubuntu ISO. Or do it in Windows. Btw: You can do the whole thing in VirtualBox. I mean install LFA in VirtualBox, change everything, create a new Ubuntu system using Refracta tools and transfer your new ISO to your server with using Samba or FileZilla. Or just copy your new ISO file to a USB stick. Or copy the ISO file to your Windows desktop.

Used KERNEL
My special kernel 6.4.0-rc4-amd64-exton. 

PASSWORDS and login
When the boot process is ready you will end up GDM:s login screen. The password for the ordinary user user is live. You can only log in to Gnome 44 as the ordinary user user. The password for root is root. When logged in as user you can use Sudo to become root. (Commands: sudo su and for example sudo pcmanfm).

INSTALLATION to hard drive
Note that you in advance (just in case) should create a partition of at least 20 GB for LFA and a SWAP space double the size of your computer's RAM. I.e. if you have RAM of 1024 MB or less. If you have RAM of 2 GB or more it's enough with a SWAP space of 2 GB. The installation program in LFA (Refracta Installer) is otherwise "intuitive". Choose manual partitioning and select the partition you created in advance for installation. Read more: https://lfa.exton.net/hard-drive-install/

USB installation
Please read my INSTRUCTION about the absolute best way to perform a USB installation: https://lfa.exton.net/usb-install/
There are two ways to achieve persistence!

ABOUT WIRELESS configurations
Use NetworkManager to configure your wireless network. It works perfect.
