"setup/getting/" Is missing crucial information about the fundamentals of readymade (preview)

[veighnsche]

I wished it was easier to read more about readymade in this particular page of the wiki. It is very easy to pick and download the readymade variant of the ISOs so I expected that the foundational information about readymade would be as easy to read.

@Owen-sz lets fix this tonight

What specifically would you want to see? We are also working on a technical readymade/taidan page for out devdocs.

@Owen-sz Maybe there was a readymade bug.
But after I installed Ultramarine through readymade, it failed to boot, but gave me a grub shell instead.
As if nothing was installed on my drive. So I assumed that readymade wouldn't be an installer. But some sort of afterscript??

So that made me confused. I don't even know if readymade is a installer or not. And I can't find the information either. It would be nice to see the purpose of readymade, and that would make it clear if there was a bug OR I didn't use it right.

This is Readymade error not intentional, and to clarify, it is an installer, just like Anaconda.

Your issue could have been caused by an issue with Readymade where it would populate quotes in fstab, which has been fixed but the current images on the website do not have that fix yet. I have just generated new images and will push those soon here after some testing.

Also, we now have the 'Readymade and Taidan' developer documentation here: https://developer.fyralabs.com/rdms
Probably out of scope for what you're looking for, but may help some of your clarification questions?

I will take a look at the wiki pages and see if any more clarification can be added, but let me know what else you think.
