Build

A pre-built iso file is provided here however if you prefer building the file yourself, follow the next step.

This will create an iso file in the build directory

mkarchiso -v -w ./ -o ./build ./

for more information see the Arch wiki's page on the archiso

You can also find a prebuilt iso file in the releases

Adding a persistent storage partition

specify your archiso device

source ./make_storage.sh /dev/sdX

this will create a partition that will be mounted in /run/archiso/storage once the archiso boots up.

4G of cowspace is also mounted to allow for other packages to be installed.
