Stephenson's Rocket 159plus1 released

[directhex]

Blah blah blah. This is the same as last time, refreshed to include all Valve's changes in update 159.

This is the only way to install SteamOS if your AMD card is pre-5000 series, or your NVIDIA card is pre-400 series.

Thanks Directhex

I'm just curious if Stephenson's Rocket 159plus1 support the older Nvidia video adapters (8xxx, 9xxx, 2xx, etc)?

Yes. It installs both 340 and 346 drivers, and picks which one to use during boot.

Are there any plans for all wheezy packages being upgraded to jessie or newer packages as a custom installer .iso?

Is this even theoritcally possible due to all the customised packages in steamos?

Do we simply need to wait on Valve providing newer packages for steamos?

Have you tried 349 drivers with steamos?

I try to keep my changes to a minimum. Rebasing an entire distribution is major work, and I don't intend to do it myself.

I haven't used 349 in SteamOS. It's a small job to provide it as an update, but presumably there's a reason Valve haven't done so.
