FatDog Kernel Version and Security Modules

Post by Neo_78 »

Is there a reason why latest FatDog64 812 ships with Kernel version 5.4.152 and not with 5.4.7 that is also available in the official repository?

https://distro.ibiblio.org/fatdog/kernels/810/

Has anyone managed to install and configure a security module like AppArmor or SELinux in FatDog?

Additional Kernel parameters to be used during the boot-loading stage beside the ones in the FAQ are mentioned here, but security related features seem to be limited:

If you want to permanently apply boot parameters in order to avoid having to add them manually during each boot, in which configuration file would they have to be added?

Yes, it's because 5.4.152 is newer than 5.4.7.

As far as I know Fatdog kernels are built without those features.

Your bootloader's config file, like syslinux.cfg, menu.lst, etc.

Thanks for the update. I am probably not used to the Kernel version system and thought that 5.4.7 is the newer one... :D
