Hi there Archers,
I've been using Arch on and off for awhile now, love it lots. Anyways, I'm looking to create a portable Arch Linux installation upon my 320gb 2'5'' External HDD.
Ideally I'd like to have a 60 GB EXT4 Partition running some sort of persistent LiveCD install (Or somehow utilize a similar boot sequence for detecting hardware) and the rest as a fat32 partition that I can utilize in Windows and within Arch itself (Preferably have it mounted automagically)
However I'm a bit confused on how to do this. Can anyone offer advice? I'd prefer a GRUB style deal like the LiveUSB or some such. Would this work ok? I would like to get Pekwm on it and Nvidia drivers (90% of computers it would be running on would have nvidia cards) as well as CUPS (For work... we have 15 printers)
I was looking at Chakra but I hate KDE, FaunOS seems deserted, and I'd like to stick to Arch because I like it best.
If you need any more info let me know... Headed to be so can't respond till morning.
Thanks so much,
Formode

Use larch.
-edit-
Actually, normal installation is probably a better way. It should autodetect things well enough.

Alright, so I got it installed and booting grub just fine. However during boot I get "/dev/disk/by-uuid/(blah)" cannot be created/mounted.
Does it have anything to do with the fact that I need to change my root (hd1,0) to root (hd0,0)?

I don't know your disk/partition scheme. If root line was wrong, it wouldn't boot at all.
