When will the be a new release?

Today I reinstalled my Arch Linux installation on one of my computers, but there was one thing that was annoying. I had to download about 100MB of updates (I could use the FTP disk but that is quite buggy apparently - this needs to be fixed). The kernel was outdated (2.6.22) and the logos were old. Any chance of releasing a new ISO?

Re: When will the be a new release?

Here's what tpowa said still needed to be done bout a month back:

I would guess a new iso will be available early april, but that's my wild guess.


flack 2.0.6: menu-driven BASH script to easily tag FLAC files (AUR)
knock-once 1.2: BASH script to easily create/send one-time sequences for knockd (forum/AUR)

A wise user always keeps the pacman databases and cache in a separate (local or shared via LAN) partition, with the appropriate directories symlinked to from their default locations.

This way, you never have to re-download anything.

How would I set up a separate partition shared via LAN? That sounds quite interesting smile
