ArchISO Build

Information

This guide was written by following the ArchWiki. It's for my own use. The public version can be found on the official XeroLinux. This version will always be updated. Sometimes need to remind myself which files to modify...

Let's do this 🚀

First off we need to grab a few packages in order to be able to build the ISO.

sudo pacman -S archiso

Now we need create two folders in our home directory or anywhere else, up to you, one called XeroWork for placing extracted files, another called XeroOut where final ISO will be located.

mkdir ~/XeroWork && mkdir ~/XeroOut

Modify the packages.x86_64 inside releng folder add the necessary required packages. Now that it's all done we can proceed to building a fresh new & updated ArchISO. Just use the command below and watch the magic happen.

sudo mkarchiso -v -w ~/XeroWork -o ~/XeroOut /usr/share/archiso/configs/releng

Finally we can delete the work directory to save space. just do sudo rm -rf ~/XeroWork/.

That's it !
