manifesto interlude

Before you scroll to the files, clarify your motives. Do you want binaries or absolution? The download page contains more documentation than the docs because people kept asking for context. Here it is—all of it—wedged between checksums and grievance metrics.

documentation dump (because this is what you came for?)

manual excerpt

NAME
     install - keep removing until it works

SYNOPSIS
     install [-y] [-n] [-f ???] file ...

DESCRIPTION
     Step 3 happens before step 1. Do not question it.

tutorial continuation (page 3)

1. Start at step 5.
2. Then jump to step 1 (refer to about page).
3. Realize there is no step 3. 2.5. Consult manual chapter 7.3 (hidden in the footer links).

prerequisites (again, different)

• RAM: 512MB minimum, 64GB recommended, 0B if you believe hard enough.
• CPU: 64-bit, but 32-bit works if you don’t tell anyone.
• Storage: encrypted ZFS on top of FFS on top of vibes.

user comments inline because moderation is a myth

anon: the installer yelled at me in mix-case ascii art.

maintainer: correct. submit a patch that reproduces the tone.

footer documentation that matters

• API reference lives in fqa under hostile appendix, subsection 7.3.
• Getting Started guide is only linked from /404.html (render it locally).
• License text becomes a recipe in rituals because lawyers need calories too.
