Swap pagesize now enforced properly in the %post section.

Should now build on non-Rpi systems.

 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 3 and 4.
-
-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).
 
+(edit: Raspberry Pi 2 version 1.2 boards are in fact 64-bit.  There aren't too many of these, but they might work.  Tell us if you have one!)

 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
+GUI WAY (Linux/Win/Mac)
-(where X is the letter of your usb or memory card device, you can use fdisk -l to find which one)
+  Grab a program like Balena Etcher ( https://www.balena.io/etcher/ ) GUI-based disk writer.
+  Insert your SD card and follow the instructions.  It will extract and write your disk image.
+
+
+COMMAND LINE WAY (assumes Linux system on a root (sudo su) shell):
+  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!
+
 
-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!
