Archiso-live 20080814 Release

Changes since 20080807:
added a fix changes boot option meaning you can only use changes on ext2 partition or ext2 format usb stick. A folder name changes is used for this.

added rootcopy to hooks in initramfs image. Norootcopy boot option is there too.

The archlive.sqfs file is the main module image now. This release is not has modular cause of pacman -S -e being dropped. The only real reason i don't have a major probelm with this is cause making the modules doesn't take long with plain gzip squashfs.

Lxde is the main desktop for now. I decide this to see if people like it better.

Desktops removed/missing:
e17-cvs(?)
gnome

packages removed/missing:
gtkpod
mplayer
smplayer
gnome-commander

Added:
inkscape

Archiso-live 20080807 (Second release)

I started to look at the my custom build scripts of archiso again. I decide to start it up again since this will be more pure archlinux live cd and its faster.

packages missing that are in arch-live:
kino
inkscape and deps
kompozer
e16 (e17cvs is in iso)
windowmaker
xfburn
xfmedia
gonvert
nonfree video-drivers
and others

I have most arch-live packages in arch-live. The configs are the same has in arch-live I think. The major thing with archiso-live is you can use kernel modules from archlinux repo since it use arch kernel. :)

You can get the iso here.

root pass: ArchLinux

user : arch
pass : arch

PS There is no changes, load, or unload boot opitons.

arch-fah (folding@home) 20080803 release

I releasing a folding@home edition of arch-live. This is just the core folder of arch-live with some settings for folding@home to work.

It uses arch user for folding@home for security concerns.

user: arch
pass: arch

Root password is ArchLinux.

You can get the iso here.

PS I'm going to see about adding the folding@home editon has a boot option in arch-live. This release is only for people who don't need a desktop and like command line. Folding@home is started at boot so you shouldn't have to do anything but maybe login.
