Re: Arch Live Medium
I ran into the same problem installing on my new laptop - the core software was too old for my hardware. It is possible to drop to shell and do a pacman -Syu, but to use the upgraded kernel, that is the hard part. It would be cool if you could write changes to the usb drive? I feel like this is totally possible but Im not sure how to go about it.
Anyone have an idea?

Re: Arch Live Medium
There's a wiki page about remastering the install iso, if you're interested. But if you're going to do that, it would be quicker and easier to use the test images linked above. Read the thread about them for more details.

Before you reboot just chroot into the new installation and update again.

Re: Arch Live Medium
There should maybe a small info on the "Download" Page for those who can´t use the "old" Images
