Trying to get an operating system that works.

[SICKOFLINUX]

Hello,

the minimum specifications are 512MB of RAM, 0.5MB is not enough RAM. I am guessing you may mean 0.5GB RAM.

If you do not know the character or have trust in them, you would have been better buying the DVD directly from the LL website.

Here is the link for tutorial to fix your kb settings

The box on the left is the default setting you can edit this in your "profile" tab at the top of the page.

What are the errors produced when trying to do updates in LL2.6, you have only specified the errors produced when trying to upgrade to LL2.8
LL2.8 is not the latest, the latest is LL 3.2

The terminal commands you specified look to be incorrect, it should read -

Code:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install lite-upgrade-series2 -y

Hello btnpcs,yes I should have said 1/2 GB of RAM.

I did try buying direct from the linux lite site but was denied access because I had an adblocker installed & was'nt sure at that stage how to disable it.I shall try your tutorial later thanks.

The errors I get are on "Install updates": "could'nt fetch the package cache information lists."
& on Lite upgrade": "Upgrade canceled."

I tried typing your commands directly into the terminal as "sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install lite-upgrade-series2.8" & it then asks for my password but makes it impossible for me to type it!
