The easiest method is to use syslinux that is already installed with arch-live

label GRUB4DOS
     KERNEL grub.exe

Alternatively you can also use grubinst https://sourceforge.net/project/showfil … _id=474675.

Check also this tutorial http://grub4dos.sourceforge.net/wiki/in … s_tutorial.

well i do not want FAT partition in my USB,syslinux wants FAT as the partition
the lilo install used to work so well,blah whatever i will try this when slax has it solved or when i find a way to install the GNU grub
thanks for the suggestions gvv

I have updated the iso to 20080605 or today. You can go to my blog to read it. The link to my blog is on my website link in my profile.

godane · 2008-06-13 03:09:10

I have update my arch-live project to 20080612. I added gnome desktop to it too. Just got to my blog in my profile on the left.

Same question for me:rolleyes:

malagant · 2008-06-25 20:11:21

I've just tried booting the "amparch" live-cd.
It has an installer on the desktop.

I can't say that I've tried to use it and I know it's in alpha, so YMMV.
http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=50742

It uses LXDE instead of XFCE so I prefer arch-live at the moment, but maybe the 2 project leaders should combine their brilliance?
That is the beauty of FOSS.

root pass: ArchLinux
arch user pass: arch

The root password has to have the caps.

ssulaco · 2008-06-26 02:08:53

godane,im confused,...I get a login section and then a password......do you mean the ArchLinux goes in the login section and arch at the password section,....I apologize,Im new to Linux

godane · 2008-06-26 02:24:06

login: root
pass: ArchLinux

login: arch
pass: arch

I was saying the root password was ArchLinux. And I also was say arch password was arch.

I hope the above will help. If you still don't understand I don't know if i can help you any further. Sorry.

You should use "arch" in both sections, cause you don't want to login as root, well presumably.
If you do want to login as root, you use "root" in the first (login)section, and "ArchLinux" is the password for the root account so you put it in the password section following up...
Clear?

ssulaco · 2008-06-26 10:26:20

Thanks,no i dont want to log in as root,just want to run the distro live,
Does Arch run pretty well on older hardware?
I have a Dell L600r,with 512 ram

ibendiben · 2008-06-26 11:59:13

godane · 2008-06-27 02:17:07

With slim you press F1 to go thought all the xsessions that are listed in /etc/slim.conf.

I hope this helps.

PS All the desktop session list are there I think but kde3 and kde4 desktops.

Arch-live 20080706 release
I'm updating arch-live cause I got linux-live to work with initramfs now. I think everything is working but I have not checked out changes boot option. Also I have updated everything to 20080706 in iso. The only thing I didn't updated is xf86-video-vesa driver. Its cause the new 2.0.0 vesa driver cause virtualbox not work with it.
I have also updated the kernel to 2.6.25.10. I'm using my new kernel26slax package in aur now. Aufs is also updated since I'm compiling againist the kernel for it to work now. The lastest devel package is also in iso under devel folder of the iso.
I move cups from 02-apps.lzm to 03-xorg.lzm because its not need for the arch core live menu option to work. libcups is staying in 02-apps.lzm cause it maybe need by some command line programs. 02-apps.lzm module is now 6mb less without cups in it.
You can get the iso here.
It will be done uploading at 1:30am EST time.

EDIT: I changed the background, splash, and slim theme to this. I used the 1280pix version though.

wolfden · 2008-07-16 01:03:08

Running it right now:
Tried out all the desktops - work great
Installed weechat via pacman - work great

I am noticing that slim doesn't like to be restarted. I had to change my res in xorg and did the /etc/rc.d/slim restart -- it drops to cli and than I have to reissue the command to get it back up. ctrl alt backspace drops to cli also. For me, it's no big deal, just an observation

How are you getting nvidia to load and work? I grabbed the module and activated it, ?????

I don't care for the theme background image at all - I would try to stick to something more professional looking to get serious attention.

Running really good here for the past couple hours using awesome. :-)
