Second look at Ubuntu 17 10 or Artful

Second look at Ubuntu 17 10 or Artful

Update: This work is superseded by my isorespin.sh script which can respin an official ISO suitable for use on Intel Atom devices.

Ive respun using my isorespin.sh script the latest daily build of Ubuntu 17.10 (Artful Aardvark) from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/daily-live/current with the Ubuntu build of mainline kernel v4.12-rc4, the UCM files and my local package to add bluetooth (as RTL8723BS wifi is now fully supported). Ive also added my linuxium-install-bootloader.sh just for good measure:

Script /usr/local/bin/isorespin.sh called with -i artful-desktop-amd64.iso -u -l rtl8723bt_4.12.0_amd64.deb -f linuxium-install-UCM-files.sh -f wrapper-linuxium-install-UCM-files.sh -c wrapper-linuxium-install-UCM-files.sh -f linuxium-install-bootloader.sh ...

Respun ISO created as linuxium-v4.12-rc4-artful-desktop-amd64.iso in /home/linuxium/artful.

Interestingly the new ISO builds have dropped Unity and now boot with the GNOME desktop as apparently Unity will only be available when upgrading from an earlier Ubuntu release.

Anyone interested to try it out can download my interim ISO from linuxium-v4.12-rc4-artful-desktop-amd64.iso.
