BlueOnyx published fresh installation media for all three of its active releases, 5210R, 5211R and 5212R, on 19 October 2026. The update is a roll-up of all recent DNF maintenance packages combined with a targeted first-boot bug fix sweep the team called "Four Days of Chasing First-Boot Ghosts." The headline improvement is that fresh DHCP installs now flow straight into the setup wizard and GUI, dropping the old ritual of manually running network_settings.sh in the shell. The refreshed content ships as Netboot and Complete ISOs, VirtualBox and VMware appliance images, and Incus/LXC container images across a global mirror network.
