Fatdog64-802 Final Release Notes

Fatdog64-802 Final was released on 21 May 2019.

Fatdog64-802 GNU/Linux is the third release of Fatdog64 800 series, which is based on LFS 8.2/CLFS 2017.07.

This is a maintenance release. Main reason for the update is Intel ZombieLoad/DMS security flaws requiring kernel update and microcode update, which are included in this update.

As usual Fatdog64 does not upgrade from any older version; but with only very minor changes between 801 and this release, you can probably re-use your existing savefile/savedir.

Please report all bugs to the forum support thread.

Changes from 801:

Updates:

• linux-4.19.44 with DMS prevention
• Intel microcode updated to 20190504a with DMS prevention

New Features:

• Firstrun-wizard now renamed to Quick Setup
• Rox right-click to run scripts on terminal window
• PDF thumbnailer (disabled by default)

Fixes:

• Race between rox desktop and window manager is fixed
• Single quote volume label now shown properly
• get-java is made to work again
• And many other minor fixes.

Known Issues:

• Bluetooth applet is still missing. In the interim please use CLI or check this out: http://oldforum.puppylinux.com/viewtopic.php?t=115122
