Re: How to use archboot?

You can use archboot scripts to generate install-isos and imgs. Couldn't find a manual, but you may check out the config files in /etc/archboot/. It is used with mk...linux, some examples:

mkisolinux -c=/etc/archboot/presets/isolinux-ftp -g=test.iso
mksyslinux -c=/etc/archboot/presets/syslinux-ftp -i=test.img
mkpxelinux -c=/etc/archboot/presets/pxelinux-ftp

Re: How to use archboot?

Sorry I don't have time this week to detail all my thrills and learning with\:

LARCH
ARCHISO
ARCHBOOT

I have used all three successfully and with some cool requirements I wanted which, for one,  was/is  full/fast offline install.
I know that they are all brilliant and hope for their continued develpment and support.

I currently find that with ARCHBOOT I get it to boot off my usbstick and on there I have a full local repo  created.
I wrote about it in the main threads for ARCHBOOT

I am also looking forward to having time to enjoying ARCHISO and the wondrous LARCH  again!!!!!!!!!

Sorry for unaviodablr rush.
I write about it in other thread. Seach ARCHBOOT, it's release thread(s)
