Distributions of Linux-based systems

Well... https://twitter.com/OrangeCMS/status/1220605490792751104

This file lists details on how the respective distributions patch and configure their kernels, where to obtain the sources and config files, and the download URLs for current release ISO images. That helps maintaining and further developing webboot.

Arch Linux

• ISO
• kernel sources
• kernel config

SystemRescueCd

Formerly based on Gentoo, SystemRescueCd now builds on top of Arch Linux. Hence, the directory structure in the ISO is similar to the Arch Linux ISO.

It is meant to be a live distro for system rescue tasks, hence the name.

• download page
• ISO

Fedora

Build instructions in the wiki are specific to Fedora and not suitable for other systems. Cloning from the repository and applying the config should just work though.

• ISO
• kernel sources
• stable sources
• kernel config

Release 30

• ISO
• netinst
• kernel sources

openSUSE

Details on the kernel are in the wiki, as well as instructions.

• ISO, netboot
• kernel sources
• kernel config: within sources, see config/x86_64/default

TinyCore

Patched kernel sources, separate patches and config can be found among the release sources.

• Core ISO
• CorePlus ISO
• TinyCore ISO
• kernel sources
• kernel config

Ubuntu

• kernel sources
• kernel config: included in sources, split into parts for common, arch-specific and generic/low latency bits in src/linux-source-5.0.0/debian.hwe/config/: config.common.ubuntu, amd64/config.{common.amd64,flavour.generic} are the relevant files for webboot on x86
