v0.1.4 (pre-release beta testing) [Updated: 15 May 2016]

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?
Uploading of kernels don't work when in persistent mode. You have to copy kernels manually to the USB for this to work. Do you want 4.4.4-rt11 with just USB? If yes I can build that and post it in the forums.

  • 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.
That is normal I think. That table listed is from lscpu, which may or may not be accurate. I'd do a check to confirm this soon.

  • Button 'Shut down machine' only seem to logoff but doesn't really shut down my machine like windows does.
Try a reboot, does that work? Which ISO version are you using?

  • Priority:  would be nice to have some guidelines what processes may be adapted to get better performance.
Good idea, I'd see if I can write something about that in the future.

  • 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).
I will do that soon. Be careful with using them atm as some of the settings may crash the kernel. But all is recoverable if you connect a keyboard/monitor to the Snakeoil machine, I will write up on how to fix that if it happens.
