I have a new i586 machine and want to install archlinux i586 on it. So I want to recreate the archlinux install CD. But how do i do it? I have unpacked the install ISO, and is replacing all the packages, but when it comes to inird.img, the instructions in the wiki do not work. I cannot mount the unzipped inird.img. What should I do? file say that it is a cpio archive, but how do I unpack and mount it? And then, what is lowcore.img?
I cannot provide much help here because I never rebuilt the ISO by myself, but you should take a look at archboot (used to generate our ISOs) and the new archiso tool: http://projects.archlinux.org/git/?p=archiso.git;a=tree -- Roman Kyrylych (Роман Кирилич)
