Users need more opportunities to learn about SD card management. For example:
The purposes of the files installed by the SD card utility
Where to download bundled software (GEOS, etc.) and updates
Why and how to format the card with the MEGA65 SD card utility
How to work around issues with incomplete FAT32 support (fragmentation), using mega65_ftp/etherload
Tips for dealing with spurious files installed by the host OS (especially macOS) or long filenames
Describe the solution you'd like
Create a plaintext document named README.txt containing this information. Embed it in the core as one of the files it populates via the SD card utility. Include it in the bundled SD card image.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Alternatively, the README.txt file could be a short file with a reference to a chapter in the manual, or a mega65.org short URL that redirects to a Filehost or Wiki article. The goal is to present the user with this information at the point it is useful, i.e. when they mount the SD card on their PC. A user will probably follow a link found in this file.
