http://distro.ibiblio.org/fatdog/web/
The iso and everything else can be found from the link above. Keep in mind that if a pet package has dependencies those are only resolved when installed using the package manager.
Broadcom wireless users, be aware that the proprietary driver is included but not used by default. If you need the proprietary driver, open the Control panel and go to the System tab. Then click on Manage Servers and Services. Click on BC-wl and then Start and Enable.
If you use the ATI Fglrx or Nvidia video drivers make sure you get the new ones.
Thanks to all those who have tested. Besides the regular Fatdog64 repo for packages, there are also these:
