-- Archboot is a set of scripts to generate bootable media for CD/USB/PXE. -- It is designed for installation or rescue operation. -- It only runs in RAM, without any special filesystems like squashfs, - thus it is limited to the RAM which is installed in your system. - Please read the according Changelog files for RAM limitations. -- Git repository: - https://gitlab.archlinux.org/tpowa/archboot -- It is developed by tpowa. - -The difference to the archiso install media: -- It provides an additional interactive setup and quickinst script. -- It contains [core] repository on media. -- It runs a modified Arch Linux system in initramfs. -- It is restricted to RAM usage, everything which is not necessary like - man or info pages etc. is not provided. -- It doesn't mount anything during boot process. -- It supports remote installation through ssh. - -Latest Releases: -- Hybrid image file and torrent is provided, - which include i686 and x86_64 core repository. -- Hybrid network image file and torrent is provided, - which do not include i686 and x86_64 core repository. -- Please read the according Changelog files for RAM limitations. -- Please check md5sum before using it. - https://downloads.archlinux.de/iso/archboot/latest - -Burning Release: -Hybrid image file is a standard CD-burnable image and also a raw disk image. -- Can be burned to CD(RW)/DVD media using most CD-burning utilities. -- Can be raw-written to a drive using 'dd' or similar utilities. - This method is intended for use with USB thumb drives. - 'dd if= of=/dev/ bs=1M' - -Supported boot modes of Archboot media: -- It supports BIOS booting with syslinux. -- It supports UEFI/UEFI_CD booting with gummiboot and EFISTUB. -- It support UEFI_MIX_MODE booting with grub. -- It supports Secure Boot with prebootloader. -- It supports grub(2)'s iso loopback support. - variables used (below for example): - iso_loop_dev=PARTUUID=XXXX - iso_loop_path=/blah/archboot.iso -- It supports booting using syslinux's memdisk (only in BIOS mode). - -Interactive setup features: -- Media and Network installation mode -- Changing keymap and consolefont -- Changing time and date -- Setup network with netctl -- Preparing storage disk, like auto-prepare, partitioning, - GUID (gpt) support, 4k sector drive support etc. -- Creation of software raid/raid partitions, lvm2 devices - and luks encrypted devices -- Supports standard linux,raid/raid_partitions,dmraid/fakeraid,lvm2 - and encrypted devices -- Filesystem support: ext2/3/4, btrfs, f2fs, nilfs2, reiserfs,xfs,jfs, - ntfs-3g,vfat -- Name scheme support: PARTUUID, PARTLABEL, FSUUID, FSLABEL and KERNEL -- Mount support of grub(2) loopback and memdisk installation media -- Package selection support -- Signed package installation -- hwdetect script is used for preconfiguration -- Auto/Preconfiguration of fstab, kms mode, ssd, - mkinitcpio.conf, systemd, crypttab and mdadm.conf -- Configuration of basic system files -- Setting root password -- grub(2) (BIOS and UEFI), refind-efi, gummiboot, - syslinux (BIOS and UEFI) bootloader support - -FAQ, Known Issues and limitations: -- Release specific known issues and workarounds are posted in changelog files. -- Check also the forum threads for posted fixes and workarounds. -- Why screen stays blank or other weird screen issues happen? - Some hardware doesn't like the KMS activation, - use nouveau.modeset=0 or radeon.modeset=0 or i915.modeset=0 - or nomodeset on boot prompt. -- dmraid/fakeraid might be broken on some boards, support is not perfect here. - The reason is there are so many different hardware components out there. - At the moment 1.0.0rc16 is included, with latest fedora patchset, - development has been stopped. mdadm supports some isw and ddf fakeraid - chipsets, but assembling during boot is deactivated in /etc/mdadm.conf! -- Why is parted used in setup routine, instead of cfdisk in - msdos partitiontable mode? - - parted is the only linux partition program that can handle all type of - things the setup routine offers. - - cfdisk cannot handle GPT/GUID nor it can allign partitions correct - with 1MB spaces for 4k sector disks. - - cfdisk is a nice tool but is too limited to be the standard - partitioner anymore. - - cfdisk is still included but has to be run in an other terminal. - -Bugs: -- If you find a bug, please mail the archboot developer directly. -- Arch Linux Bugtracker: - https://bugs.archlinux.org - -Have fun! -tpowa - archlinux.org> -(archboot developer)
