[OSGeoLive] OSGeoLive 14.0 status: alpha1

[Angelos Tzotsos]

Hi Seth,

Thank you for testing!
Indeed there is a boot check for the squashfs file, we need to figure 
out how to update the checksum so the test does not fail.
About VBoxClient, I am able to reproduce, we should open a ticket for 
this and investigate.

As you also pointed, we need to work on the documentation to switch to 
the new LXQT application names.

Regards,
Angelos
