Hi Michael, I totally understand your concerns, but Installer project just support latest Ubuntu and latest Fedora, regardless official distro's Long Term Support. The reason is that in the long term our upgrade might conflict with official updates causing issues to end users instead of helping. Since we respect the official distro package maintainers we don't override or replace their work. Installer just aims to speed up the process to end users that wants new software with a quickly upgrade to the latest Intel Graphics Stack. I hope you understand. Best Regards, Rodrigo.

However, I notice that you have taken down the related graphics drivers for 14.04. Your version for 14.10 (which isn't LTS) refuses to work on 14.04. > > What was the reasoning behind this?
