Hi Roger,
Thanks for the pointer. It also says that Andy has done this already for the BitFolk
installer, which is great.

Hi Chris,
There are details on the wiki:
https://tools.bitfolk.com/wiki/Ubuntu#20.04_.28Focal_Fossa.29_and_beyond
under "No support for LZ4-compressed kernels at BitFolk". Calling it a
kernel hack makes it sound scarier than it is, it's more a kernel
compression workaround.

a bit better. Are you saying that it is not possible to install Ubuntu 20.04 currently
without a kernel hack? Where can I read about this? A quick Google search hasn’t revealed
anything helpful and the Bitfolk site lists 20.04 as an available option.
