Two files to add to the top of Fatdog Main

Post by superchook »

If the moderators agree perhaps the following two files could be placed at the top of the FatDog section of forum.puppylinux.com
The first would let new visitors know what FatDog offers and the second includes a comprehensive list of included packages.
(Unfortunately the second file would have to be replaced whenever there is a new release)
The first file can be found at
https://distro.ibiblio.org/fatdog/web/
and the second at
https://distro.ibiblio.org/fatdog/web/903.html
Does anyone think the above idea has merit?
cheers,
superchook

My goodness... I wish Kennel Linux had such great introductory pages! We will have to get someone good at this kind of stuff into the team to do this @rockedge!

Hello @fatdog . As you continue progress to your next release and your updated release-related webpage, I offer this under the section "For new users" on this webpage:

  • For Ventoy users booting the Fatdog ISO file from the Ventoy disc

  • For SuperGrub2 Disk (SG2D) users booting the Fatdog ISO file from the SG2D disc.

  • PXE booting is also tested and supported via iVentoy PXE setup.

This will cover the known manners new and experienced users can boot FATDOG.

Additionally for the "Getting Started – Possible Issues > Boot Section" of this FATDOG webpage, I offer this GRUB2 equivalent:

Code: Select all

menuentry "Fatdog" {
    insmod ext2  # Or whatever filesystem your Fatdog directory is on (ext4, xfs, etc.)
    set root=(hd0,msdos1) # Replace (hd0,msdos1) with the correct partition
    linux /fatdog/vmlinuz mergeinitrd1=local:/fatdog/initrd root=/dev/sda1 ro  # Adjust root=/dev/sda1 if needed
    initrd /fatdog/initrd-nano
}
