I'm updating arch-live cause I got linux-live to work with initramfs now. I think everything is working but I have not checked out changes boot option. Also I have updated everything to 20080706 in iso. The only thing I didn't updated is xf86-video-vesa driver. Its cause the new 2.0.0 vesa driver cause virtualbox not work with it.
I have also updated the kernel to 2.6.25.10. I'm using my new kernel26slax package in aur now. Aufs is also updated since I'm compiling againist the kernel for it to work now. The lastest devel package is also in iso under devel folder of the iso.
I move cups from 02-apps.lzm to 03-xorg.lzm because its not need for the arch core live menu option to work. libcups is staying in 02-apps.lzm cause it maybe need by some command line programs. 02-apps.lzm module is now 6mb less without cups in it.
You can get the iso here.
It will be done uploading at 1:30am EST time.

wifi bug in offical archlinux kernel
There is still some problems with the offical archlinux kernel that I have fould. This problem is not being able to connnect to the internet with my netgear wifi wg111v2 usb stick. This is cause of the mac80211 being set to pid data rate. I need it to be set to simple in order for me to use the offical archlinux kernel. For now I recomplied the archlinux kernel for with simple data rate. Its in the iso for those who are have trouble wifi drivers on kernel 2.6.25.
Here is the bug report: a fix for netgear wg111v2 not work on kernel 2.6.25.x (This bug is in the config upstream)

archiso-live 20080703 (first release)
I have made some major chanages to the archiso scripts that are used to build the offical archlinux installer iso. I'm doing this for 2 reasons:
1) to be able to use the offical archlinux kernel
2) To be able to use initramfs instead of initrd
Changes from archiso scripts:
* Support aufs and unionfs
* Modular script addmods in /etc/rc.d and added to /etc/rc.conf (This script makes it possible for us to have other modules load at boot.)
* Bind /tmpfs to /mnt/live/memory/changes
* Mount modules in /mnt/live/memory/modules/name.sqfs
* addmods uses liblinuxlive to mount modules and put them in union. Since it uses liblinuxlive we can use load and noload commands now. Just like in slax. EDIT: Optional folder is not blocked from loading modules for some reason. I delete the optional folder cause of this.
* If you use bootusb and from boot options are used on start, there will be a folder called /device.
This /device folder is the usb or hard drive you used 'bootusb' and 'from' boot option from.
* /tmp is mount has tmpfs so we still use the new arch2sqfs. Its based on the old arch2lzm script i used for arch-live.
* Added a custom boot option. This is just so the default-config.sqfs from arch 2008.06 can stay in iso with out being changed. This also mean we can have the arch 2008.06 and the new arch-live run on the same iso.
* All my old configs from arch-live are in custom-config folder now. This means we can have are settings from arch-live stay with us.
* There is 3 new grub boot option.
Archlive Desktop
Archlive Desktop with unionfs
Archlive Desktop with failsafe vesa
Missing:
* Umount /device cleany so it can be mount has read and write
* changes boot option
* hard drives mounting on startup (maybe a boot option for safed reasons)
* Usb keys not know after boot
packages:
most of the package from arch-live are in this release.
packages removed:
enlightment 16 version
gnome desktop
miro
windowmaker desktop (i think)
kompozer
gonvert
deluge
wine
xsane
shaman
ati drivers and nvidia drivers
You can get the iso here.
PS It will be done uploading in about 30min.

Arch-live 20080626 release
I have update the iso again. Its up to date as of 20080626.
Changes:
gtkpacman
shaman (Need to be root in order ro it to start. This is cause it doesn't has for root password when you start it.)
lighttpd replaces the server modules
mysql is in 08-xlib module now cause its kdemod dep(kdemod is not include)
qtmod from kdemod repalces qt from archlinux
xchm
keytouch (I added it in twice by mistake.)
keytouch-editor
Added e17cvs session to slim. Now you can use e17-cvs desktop on start if you want. (Press F1 on slim login screen to select a desktop.)
I changed the design of the extra/xapps folder. Now its by category of the library it uses. (gtk folder has pygtk, gtk1, and gtk2 apps. qt has qt4 apps, qt3 has qt3 apps, etc.)
You can get the full list of packages and iso here.
You can get kdemod and kdemod4 modules here. Kdmod4 needs jre6u5 for one of the apps to work.

Arch-live 20080612 release
I have added a new iso tonight. I added gnome desktop to the iso now. I was able to make it using a new "arch2lzm mergelist" option. This is like the addlist option but you make a module from a list in this new option. It will also install any deps missing from the current system too.
I had to reverse my kernel back to the slax 2.6.24.5 version. This is cause 2.6.25.x series has to many bugs in working with wifi. Even in myah 3.0 my problem was still there.
You can get the iso and package list here.
PS My internet upload speed is 3 times then last week. I was able to upload the 558mb iso file in 75 minutes. This is very good since i can make special dvd editions of arch-live and be able to upload them in reasonable amount of time. (Ex. Based on those speeds i can upload a 1.5gb iso file in about 4 hours. :) )

Arch-live 20080605 release
I have updated the kernel to 2.6.25.4. I used patches from myah 3.0 kernel sources. I modified my patches for sqlzma against myah sqlzma patches for it to work in 2.6.25.4 kernel.
Kernel26livecd aur package is here.
I have added awesome desktop and merge 03-common with 01-core.
You can get the iso, package list, and new modules package list here.
Since the kernel has been updated i'm going to delete the older isos to save space on my host server. This is so the kernel drivers in the module repo will only be for new current kernel and there is no confusion with older drivers.
I will keep the last update and move my kernel drivers for the older kernel there. This is so there will be a older version for people that want it or need it.
