archiso syslinux error: no default or UI Configuration
I used the archiso git, and successfully create a image.
But when I try to load it, it has this error: no default or UI Configuration.

Re: archiso syslinux error: no default or UI Configuration
bumped.
I still need help on this.
I tried to boot by typing the img location directly but it still does not boot correctly.

Re: archiso syslinux error: no default or UI Configuration
Just push "tab" to list available boot options (arch). Type "arch" and push enter.
PS: Do not use "xz" initramfs with mkinitcpio < 0.6.10

You can install Arch from an iso file on a hard drive using an existing linux distribution, see https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Fa … nux_System.
There is at least one tutorial on installing Arch from an iso on hard disk using coLinux on Windows 7. I don't know why someone would do that except to prove it's possible.

oh, yes sure.
just copy the directory "arch" where all files reside (kernel, squashfs images, etc) to some filesystem (partition), add an entry to your bootloader (grub, syslinux, lilo) like in syslinux.cfg and adjust archisolabel= to match the FS where you copy the "arch" directory. Thats all. 
For example, in my working, there is a machine with WinXP. Then I installed grub2win, chainloading from ntldr to grub2win, then boot from kernel located at ntfs partition with rest of needed files.

Re: archiso syslinux error: no default or UI Configuration
So I created a live cd with archiso, and customized a bit.
To let my users install the customized arch, I need some help.
is it possible to install arch from "aif" if i have aif in my iso image? do I keep the customized stuff?
if not, how to keep it?
