I'm just wondering how to create the bootable Arch install images, including ISO and IMG files which are in the Arch download mirrors.
Can anyone explain the detailed procedures about it? I just cannot find it in the Wiki.
Thanks a lot.
P.S.:
Is it true that the IMG file was created from the ISO file, as far as Arch install image is concerned? And how to convert between the IMG and ISO files?
Thanks.

Using the archiso tool:

Readme has some more info:
http://projects.archlinux.org/?p=archis … ME;hb=HEAD
Archiso is a small set of bash scripts that is capable of building fully
functional ArchLinux-based liveCDs. It is a very generic tool, so it
could potentially be used to generate anything from rescue systems,
to install disks, to special interest liveCD systems, and who knows what
else. Simply put, if it involves Arch on a shiny coaster, it can do it.

Thank you iphitus!
I've understood something, and I find the mkusbimg command from http://projects.archlinux.org/?p=archiso.git;a=summary. So, I think I've found how the IMG install file was created.

There's no documentation anywhere that I can find for using mkarchiso?

There's a readme file, that's it. I would happily accept some documentation-related patches if you write some though.
The suggestion box only accepts patches.

I can't write any documentation until I know how to use it. Sorry, I couldn't figure it out from the README file.
