Hey Kyle, I've always thought of creating something similar too, but I didn't do anything about it because of its usefulness (would people use it, since parted magic and other similar projects already exist?) and maintainability issues. But it is good to know another person who also finds this a good idea. The Arch ISO is really great for recovery purposes without X (dd, for example, yesterday I used it this way!), but there are some GUI-based recovery tools without an easy CLI replacement. We should probably stick back to the topic, but please let me know if you ever do something about this. 2014-02-22 22:09 GMT-03:00 Kyle Terrien <kyleterrien@gmail.com>:

I've considered putting together an Arch-based recovery disc (as an alternative to PartedMagic now that they are commercial). It sounds like a similar project, except for x86.

If I ever get around to building an Arch-based recovery disc, I'll let you know.
