the 450+mb of packages was installed in the old image. this image is the old image with all of the new stuff injected into it. I didnt even update the software, so it is still as outdated as the original release. I was planning on updating it all to the latest l4t root upstream at some point, but it is still 18.04, so
Code:
apt update && apt upgrade
should get you to the upstream stuff. currently I am looking at possible options to bring back hardware decoding for things like moonlight, and kodi.

I didn't ask question about updates, it is ok to use apt upgrade any way. I mean that original image could be smaller if no office installed.
So why you haven't reformat boot partition to make it work in all OSs? Is there any possible issues if I did that?

PS1: Touch screen dies at random time as before, so it is not fixed.
PS2: TV mode sometimes stops working and only internal screen enabled, so "dock handler fixes" also not complete.
PS3: Thanks for keeping this project alive. And it is shame that Nvidia is lazy to make new kernels release for L4T.

I do not understand why both with Lakka and L4T do not see me the wifi card I am wrong or one of those switches that does not digest these things I state that everything works in normal and mod mode so I would exclude the broken wifi since in normal and mod it sees me quietly everything and retroarch on the mod works help me I'm going crazy I changed microsd as well but from the exact same problem formatted in fat32
