First quick impression is that the setup also improved stability.
I am running Snakeoil entirely from RAM (incl. persistent) and was able to update the firmware without any problem on my usb stick.
It seems that the firmware automatically pre-selects the correct 'generic-usb'version of the bootkernel. As I am using an i5 processor and an USB DAC I assume this is indeed the best kernel for my configuration. However after restarting the 'Home' tab shows that my kernel is still "4.4.4-rt11-snakeoil". Does this mean the kernel has not been updated?
Tab 'Home'
- Model : shows '60' while my processor is an i5 4460T
- CPU MHz : Not sure if this has been done on purpose but this item shows default amount of MHz instead of actual. I have clocked down my processor to 1200 MHz (fixed). However it shows 1900 MHz.
- Button 'Shut down machine' only seem to logoff but doesn't really shut down my machine like windows does.
- Priority: would be nice to have some guidelines what processes may be adapted to get better performance.
- Boot options: would be nice to know what these options offer (as already stated by yourself this topic will be expanded on the help page later on).
