Archiso-live 20081028 Release

Changes since last release:
* Replace the videoconfig script with the one from a upcoming distro called Chakra. Chaka is the new kdemod distro thats coming from kdemod team. Anyway they made a better xorg config system then me.
New Boot options:

xres (ex. xres=1024x768 will give you a 1024x768 resolution)

xdepth (ex. xdepth=16 will give you 16 color depth)

nonfree (yes or no) This is for auto detecting video cards installing the nonfree one to use. I set most of them to 'no' cause it could cause problems on some computers. (?)

* remove the /usr/share/locale files. This saves the distro 100+mb of space for video drivers and other programs. (Only the reason for now is the video drives.) This will make my archiso-live a English only distro for now on.

* Added gnome-commander and gnome-device-manager programs.

* I removed all wallpapers from kde but the default one. This saves another 30+mb.

You can get the iso here.

EDIT: Installer may not work do some of the changes i made. I think is just cause of some files in /etc/rc.d/functions.d think its still a live cd.

Archiso-live 20081019 Release

Changes since last release:
* autologin to arch user is by default now. The autologin boot option is for making a user to autologin to. (ex. autologin=liveuser will make liveuser account)

* kde is in iso now. :) So now the archiso-live has every desktop including kde(4).

* kino, kompozer, and gdesklets are not in this release. But isomaster is back in.

* Remove /usr/share/doc, /usr/share/gtk-doc, and /usr/share/devhelp. This is to save space so its under 700mb. (Plus there not normally need for a livecd anyway.)

* Using older dhcpcd 3.2.1 cause the newer one dhcpcd 4.0.2 is causing problems with kernel 2.6.27 for some reason.

* Desktop color depth is 16 now instead of 24. This is to stop video problems with using kde4 in virtualbox.

You can get the iso and build scripts here. Also the iso weight is ~687.7mb in size. So it should say 688mb in web broswer since it rounds in out.

Archiso-live 20081013 Release

Changes since last release:
* grub-gfx is removed so it just plain grub in this release.
* Fixed a bug that cause 100% cpu usage for the 1st 5 min.
* Fixed and rebuild aufs for new 2.6.27 kernel.
* Added brs=1 kernel module option for aufs. This will allow more modules to be supported.
* Aufs supports up to 1023 folders in union.

PS I made a git version of my archiso-live scripts this week. And also a friend make a Main Site for me cause he likes my distro but hates the blog site. The links are in side bar to the right. Label has 'Archiso-live github repo' and 'Arch-live Main Site'.

Archiso-live 20081005 Release

Changes since last release:
* I made a script called modatabase. This is so if you install this on a usb you can update all the modules at once. This is very alpha right now. You device has to be write-able and ext2 format. You can use iso2bootusb also to install it to usb device too. It uses syslinux for the boot loader.

* I remove 003-apps module because most are separate modules now in modules/extras folder. About 15 smaller programs in 003-apps module were merged into 001-desktop to save on boot time.

You can get the build scripts and iso here.

PS If you need to use the installer then login has root. The same can be said for using shaman and gtk-pacman. I'm sorry if this in inconvineince to you.

Archiso-live 20080929 Release

Changes since last release:
* Remove ffmpeg and xine-lib modules cause there in 002-lib module now
* Added iso2bootusb to iso now. I also added isolinux folder in image too but its not configure yet for archiso-live. I just copyed larch isolinux folder.
* Remove boost since its not need.
* Made the system more modular by freeing some packages in 003-apps to be separate modules.

You can get the iso and build scripts here.

PS. If people need to know there is a noxconf boot option so your xorg.conf is not over writed. This is cause archiso-live has auto configuration for xorg. Arch-larch didn't have this.

Archiso-live 20080921 Release

Archiso-live is back. I decide to bring this back cause its better then arch-larch. But i added larch, larch-live, and larchin packages in archiso-live. This means that the larch installer is in Archiso-live now and you can remaster it with larch scripts. Not the custom ones i made. Just the plain larch scripts.

Removed packages:
kino
miro

Added packages:
shaman
mixxx
kompozer

You can get the iso and build scripts here.

PS Please test larch installer since i don't know how will it will work on my Archiso-live system.

Archiso-live 20080823 Release

Changes since 20080814 release:
Made the system modular like it use to be with the orginal arch-live

add bootiso boot option ( ex bootiso=archiso.iso will look for archiso.iso on all sd* devices)

added hal and dbus-python with deps to archlive.sqfs core module to stop a bug that would make usb switch impossible without using shell

packages added:
kompozer
frozen-bubble
ltris
gnome-commander
all packages in the FrOSCon 2008 Special Edition are added to archlive.sqfs

removed:
inkscape and deps for space reason

You can get the iso here.

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

You can get the iso here.

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. :)
