Building Custom Arch Live

I am completely new and blind in this. So i could use a little advice.
Is it possible to make ARCH Live .iso with KDE +JDK +Tomcat server ?
I'm using Arch 64bit, can i make 32bit Live disk on my system?
There is time when i am not at home for couple of days, and this could be lifesaver.
Any advice is more then welcome.

Re: Building Custom Arch Live

Your timing sux, right now due to mkinitcpio update we are having problems with building our Live CDs.

Ayway, yes it's possible. Also you can create a 32-bit chroot following the wiki article.

Re: Building Custom Arch Live

I read all from wiki and more or less i get things how they work.

How to change this:
# Architecture will also be appended to the ISO name.
ARCH?=$(shell uname -m)
to make it 32bit architecture?
And will it then download all package that are in my system just for 32bit architecture from repos?

Re: Building Custom Arch Live

Hey gabriel,

ARCH will be auto-detected. If you are going to use chroot then set it as i686.
Yes it will download the 32 bit packages, even if you have 64bit packages. Both are different.
Btw, check out that thread link I posted. Godane says his archiso-live is working! I haven't tested ityet, but will do that a few days later. Meanwhile you can see if archiso-live works for you.

Re: Building Custom Arch Live

Hi sHyLoCk, i install Arch32bit in Virtualbox.
But when i try to make all i get this error:

/usr/sbin/locale-gen: line 33: sed: command not found
/usr/sbin/locale-gen: line 35: sed: command not found
/usr/sbin/locale-gen: line 38: sed: command not found
Cleaning up what we can
cp -r "work"/root-image/boot "work"/iso/
cp: cannot stat `work/root-image/boot': No such file or directory
make: *** [boot-files] Error 1

Any advice?

I hope you are building it as root?

Re: Building Custom Arch Live

Yes, but that was not the problem. I had forgot to copy pkglist, to the directory. By the way, thank you for your responce.
