Documentation on how to use ISO #17

Open niyasc opened 3 years ago

I think it would useful to have a brief documentation explaining how to download the correct ISO for Manjaro Cutefish.

On the releases page[https://github.com/manjaro-cutefish/download/releases], I can see files with .z01 and .zip extensions. Is that sufficient?

Should n't there be .z02 files as well? So combining .z01 and .z02 will provide the actual ISO?

Please provide some light on this.

I did follow these instructions to get the iso file;

  1. Download both the .iso.zip and .iso.z01 into the same directory.
  2. Open that directory in terminal.
  3. Run this: zip -s- manjaro-cutefish-21.08-development-unstable-minimal-210819-linux513.iso.zip -O cute.zip
  4. Extract the cute.zip archive to get the .iso

Note: Found these instructions at a youtube video's description from TechHut; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fBadZWIhRcs

Is there an explanation why this approach is made? Instead of just providing the .ISO as a download?

Github storage has a limit of 2 GB. If the ISO is larger we split it up.

Thanks. Makes sense!
