    The Ubuntu 23.10 image has been taken down and a new version will be available once the correct translations have been restored.”

  • Building an Arch Linux ISO

    October 9th, 2023

    Today is 9th October and yet the October’s ISO is not yet available in the main site because the developer is busy.

    So instead of waiting for the new release we can build an ISO using the archiso utility.

    1. sudo pacman -Sy –needed archiso git
    2. cd $(mktemp -d)
    3. cp -r /usr/share/archiso/configs/releng/ archlive
    4. sudo mkarchiso -v archlive
