Modified Arch install CD with Zen kernel and loop-AES

Hello,

I'm looking to benchmark a bunch of filesystems and encryption setups in real-world scenarios. I'm trying to figure out the best (fastest) way to modify the Arch 2009.02-RC2 image with the Zen kernel, patched util-linux-ng and gnupg, and loop-AES module.

I've looked around for info on doing this, but I can't find much. Building the Arch ISOs the traditional way I believe is tied to kernel26...

Ranguvar, you probably want to use our archiso scripts http://projects.archlinux.org/?p=archiso.git;a=summary
they even come with the config files we use for our official releases.
Just look at the file with the package list and replace the packages you want.

Thanks I decided against loop-AES and Reiser4, but otherwise I would have gone through that.
