This will make sure the iso only has to be download once. Saves on disk space and bandwidth. This is good news for users and developer.
Thanks goes to jensp who got it from a comment on his blog.
]]>Is this guide: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ins … AID_or_LVM still up to date (it does mention v0.7...) and will it work with archboot and/or archinstall?
Zl.
]]>- Official Iso is on 4th beta, based on archiso
Actually we are at rc1
- archboot is only developed by me and i started hacking some nice stuff(simple raid,lvm and encrypt support),
which needs some time and testing until new archboot iso/img will be released, i cannot promise a exact date.
Can you explain a bit how you implemented it?
In AIF (arch next installer) I implemented lvm/encrypt support (not yet raid though). The installer offers a "menu-like" interface where you have an overview of all your block devices (be them real ones, or provided by device_mapper), you can choose them, and build on top of that "normal" fs'es, lvm, dm_crypt volumes etc. all in 1 interface. when the definition part is over, everything is processed and executed.
(see http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=58110 for more info/some screenies)
How did you implement it?
Also, it seems to me like there isn't much communication between the official/archiso and the archboot project, or is this just me?
It seems like you have made some useful things, why are they in a separate project and not integrated in the official one?
Is there a fundamental reason we should keep 2 different projects? why not combine our efforts?
Please tell me how long will i have to wait? I have pc waiting for os, it waits for new arch iso. Should i install somthing else (mint 6 awaits) or wait for few more days? Please!
as tpowa sais couple of posts earlier:
archboot release will probably come february or march, depends on how much time i'll find in testing and fixing bugs.
