I have, over time, reduced the number of different desktop environments to what is now available - I am getting older and cannot keep up with all the different changes. So I decided to use the two desktop environments that change the least and are more stable (IMHO).

I have discovered the Xanmod Kernel-6.1.xx LTS series that I was using does not allow virtualbox to run. It does not support the installation of virtualbox-dkms and therefore produces a vboxdrv error - so with that, I have decided to use the Debian Kernel 6.1.0-0 which works. so I am upgrading all versions of Expirion to the Debian 6.1.0-0.deb11.5-amd64 kernel, along with the headers. they all should be upgraded on 13 Mar 2023

Your Lordship, I have just downloaded it, is there a spot for checksum confirmation?

I use to have it

Yeah, I thought so.

If it is of any assistance to the Members, omitting MD5, they are, for Expirion-12-Xfce-230417.iso

SHA1: 68b9e3cfd456009981fec22af821f589b8d2f25d

SHA256: f59c625bda0f75ffce43d9cbe20945f38cd9168fc28dd4ec56956ead42e98118

SHA512: dfccd0e1d727b9c19bde2f9c4e12f245630c4f532732cdeae9cb9453ebb2e6f3a924cac2fd0455b9

I added SHA-256 to the readme file - https://sourceforge.net/projects/expirion-linux/files/ - you can scroll down to the bottom and they are there - now I just have to remember to update it whenever I update the ISO's - :eek:
