Second Beta for Ubuntu 16.10 (Yakkety Yak) on Intel Compute Sticks Released

Update: This work is superseded by my 'isorespin.sh' script which can respin an official ISO suitable for use on Intel Atom devices.

The Ubuntu team has just announced the final beta release of Ubuntu 16.10 Desktop, Server, and Cloud products. Codenamed "Yakkety Yak" 16.10 the beta release also includes images for the Kubuntu, Lubuntu, Ubuntu GNOME, Ubuntu Kylin, Ubuntu MATE, and Ubuntu Studio flavours.

So that Intel Compute Stick owners do not miss out I have re-spun the official Ubuntu and

Lubuntu ISOs to include a modified kernel that supports HDMI audio and wifi on all Intel Compute Stick models which can be downloaded by clicking on the captions below the images.

The included kernel 4.8.0-14.15 can also be downloaded as an upgrade script by clicking on the link and installed after making it executable (enter 'chmod 755 linuxium-install-yakkety-kernel-4.8.0-14-linuxium-ics.sh') and then running it as 'root' ('sudo ./linuxium-install-yakkety-kernel-4.8.0-14-linuxium-ics.sh').

Additionally I've released an upgraded kernel: 4.8.0-17.19 called 'linuxium-install-yakkety-kernel-4.8.0-17-linuxium-ics.sh' for those wishing to be on the very latest release.
