The Hyperbola GNU/Linux-libre OS in 32bit computers, the minimal CPU model are i686 generation processors with support Physical Address Extension (such as Intel Pentium Pro, Intel Pentium II and AMD Athlon
series), except that does not support Physical Address Extension (such as Intel Atom, Intel Tolapai, AMD K6 and AMD Geode series), i586 generation processors and lower (such as Intel Pentium, Intel Quark and AM
D K5)
In Milky Way v0.4 live image add rEFInd (32bit) bootloader, but rEFInd bootloaders does not support x86_64 OS in EFI 32bit (on x86_64 computers) and i686 OS in EFI 64bit firmware.
In Milky Way v0.3 live image the rEFInd (64bit) replaces SYSLINUX (EFI 64bit) bootloader.
In Milky Way v0.2 live image the SYSLINUX (EFI 64bit) replaces Systemd-boot bootloader.
In Milky Way v0.1 live image use Systemd-boot bootloader to boot in EFI 64bit computers only.
Authenticity check
To verify the authenticity of the sha512sum file, we need to check the signature on the signed file.
Import the Hyperbola signing key:
$ gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-key "C92B AA71 3B8D 53D3 CAE6 3FC9 E697 4752 F970 4456"
If gpg complains about the key ID, try the following commands instead:
$ gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-key F9704456
$ gpg --list-key --with-fingerprint F9704456
Check the output of the last command, to make sure the fingerprint is C92B AA71 3B8D 53D3 CAE6 3FC9 E697 4752 F970 4456.
Verify the authenticity of the sha512sum file, like this:
$ cd
$ cd live_image
$ gpg --verify hyperbola-milky-way-v0.3.1-dual.iso.sha512.sig
The output of the last command should tell you that the file signature is 'good' and that it was signed with the following key: F9704456.
