Multiboot USB image?

Hi,

on my desktop PC I've arch x86_64 installed but my netbook only allows the installation of a i686 system.

I always like to have an usb drive with an arch linux image on it so I can e.g. make a fsck if something is going wrong or just to use it for installation.

The problem is that there isn't an image available that is able to install both a 64 and a 32 bit system.

Is there a way or are there plans to make a multiboot image available so that one only needs one single usb drive?

Thanks

barghest

/edit: maybe this was better be placed in "installation"...sorry.

Take a look at the Chakra project, they have such a cd. (and you can use it to install arch.)

Tpowa makes some great "unofficial" installation images. His one includes both 32 and 64bit on one image.
