Subject: 9front FQA 4.2, bootable installation media
Date: Thu, 9 Feb 2017 17:21:41 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <af1768ae-52f2-ebcc-2471-d8605d753bf4@offblast.org> (raw)
http://fqa.9front.org/fqa4.html#4.2 is now out of date, as the 9front
ISO now includes the boot hack required that allows simply writing the
.iso file to a usb flash drive, rather than having to set up the fat by
hand.
while the procedure might be useful to document, writing the iso to a
usb flash drive is vastly simpler, especially for new users.
additionally, there's no mention that the procedure described can't be
done from an ISO, because the filesystem is read only, and 'mk' can't be
used to compile the '9bootfat mbr pbs' without extra work.
