Rocky 8 Raspberry Pi Images

These are preliminary, but they do work, and are full-featured (as far as I know!)

They have been tested on Raspberry Pi 4.  If you are interested in testing on your Raspberry Pi 3, please tell us about it in our chat channel:  https://chat.rockylinux.org/rocky-linux/channels/altarch

Rocky Linux WILL NOT WORK on a Raspberry Pi 1 or 2.  They are 32-bit only, and Rocky Linux only supports arm64 (aarch64).


QUICK START:
####################################################
Download the latest image, and write it to your raw microSD memory card (or other boot device).

On Linux systems, simply do something like this:  xzcat Rocky_Image_file.raw.xz > /dev/sdX
(where X is the letter of your usb or memory card device, you can use fdisk -l to find which one)

BE CAREFUL, be sure which device you are writing to before you do it!  Don't accidentally blow away your laptop/desktop hard drive!

Once your storage device is written to, you should be able to plug it in to a Raspberry Pi and boot!
