Raspberry PI installation guides by FatDog (gone?)

andrixnet · 03-09-2016, 09:18 AM

Does anyone know/have a mirror or saved copy of the Slackware 14.1 installation guide on Raspberry Pi 1 and Raspberry Pi 2 by FatDog?

Unfortunately the website seems to be down. Hope it's not gone forever.

I have somewhat of a capture at home, I copied and pasted pats of it into a doc.

Thanks. Should have thought of that.
Must make a copy of it :-)

Wander what happened to FatDog ...

Thanks for the tip, but it seems not to be possible to grab the files from this archive.

Does someone have a backup of the files ?

Anyway, might have to rebuild them for the pi3...

The re-build for 64-bit will be significant, but from my meagre (3 day) experience with a pi 3 (my first SoC), anything you have for pi 2 will be 100% applicable.
Arch not Slack in my case, but equally valid I'm sure.

I've uploaded the files to my Google Drive account.

I never saved the checksums though, sorry about that.

Seems to be up now; http://rpi.fatdog.eu/

The wayback machine is an archive of old webpages. Search for "wayback machine" with your favorite search engine.

Many thanks to the author and hoster of rpi.fatdog.eu and rpi2.fatdog.eu both for his works and for publishing this guide.

Given the availability problems lately, I made my own mirror, just to be safe

DON´T PANIC!!! DON´T PANIC!!!

The FatDog.eu webserver was down due to a terminal hardware failure. Incidentally, this server had an uptime of 1673 days. Slackware ran flawlessly throughout and was still as stable and reliable as ever at the point when the hardware died.

Although it took a while (10 days?) to repair the webserver, normal operations have resumed. It´s business as usual once again.

Thanks for all your support and concern. It´s very much appreciated. <3

Would you share with us your RPi cluster experience?
