Easy Excalibur 7.0.2 released

August 18, 2025 — BarryK

Version 7.0 was released a few days ago, see announcement:

"EasyOS Excalibur-series version 7.0 released"
https://bkhome.org/news/202508/easyos-excalibur-series-version-70-released.html

A few changes since 7.0:

  • Kernel version bump from 6.12.41 to 6.12.42
  • Added missing 'setpriv' utility
  • Changed /etc/init.d/uuidd to not-executable
  • Fixed "Calculator" button in EasyApps

Download from here:

https://distro.ibiblio.org/easyos/amd64/releases/excalibur/2025/7.0.2/

Or, if you already have 7.0 running, just click on the "update" desktop icon; the update 7.0-to-7.0.2 is a 39MB download "difference file".

However, if 7.0 is your very first install of EasyOS, you need to copy 'easy-7.0-amd64.img' to /mnt/wkg. Then when you click the "update" icon, Easy will be able to determine the required difference-file to download. For updates after that, the required .img file of the current version will already be at /mnt/wkg
