Bugs fixes

Impossible to use any other file system then ext3/4 at installation time. The initrd doesn't detect the choosen file system.

If an ISO is created with the 4.14.x kernel, it won't start.

The nautilus file manager requires the gtk4 library as a dependency, it is not installed automatically.

Upgrade process

A simple:

sudo cards upgrade
    will make it.
