download 32/64bit, same iso?

Post by gychang »

I wanted to download the 32bit Vanilla Dpup 10.0.68 but I noticed it had the same vanilladpup10.0.68.iso name as the 64bit (although the size is different), is this a mistake?

No, this is not a mistake. You can always rename the file you downloaded.

Why make someone rename the file????

They should have correct names to start with.

The standard naming of iso's in Puppy Linux has been that the 64bit version has 64 in it's name.

The 32bit version has just the normal name of the iso.

Why do you want to make it hard for people to understand?

Or have it named
vanilladpup32-10.0.68.iso for 32bit.

vanilladpup64-10.0.68.iso for 64bit.

The things you do not tell us, are usually the clue to fixing the problem.

I understand what you say, but the release title contains "x86" or "x86_64" and that's even more specific than "64 bit" (ARM can be 64 bit as well).

The OS you download won't be friendly enough for you if you struggle to download the right file, so I see very little value in changing the file naming scheme (and I have a lot on my plate).

The iso is what you download.

So have x86 or x86_64 in the name of the iso

For the same reason the version number is in the name of the iso.

So you can look at the name of the iso and tell what version it is.
