Hi,
ok, so I think, the i686-only version is the way to go. I uploaded a first test to mirror.archlinux32.org/archisos/
If you find any bugs, just let me know (frankly, I didn't test these isos, because I dont have time right now).
Hi, I tried archlinux-2017.03.28-i686.iso and I get: " ISOLINUX 6.03 6.03* ETCD Copyright (C) 1995-2014 H.

I'm trying to find out what the problem might be.. any hints are welcome. :-) BTW: I can contribute to the project by testing: I have the following hardware I plan to keep for a while: ASUS EEEPC 701 QNAP TS-439 PRO HP ProLiant DL140 G1 Desktop ASUS P2B-S Intel Pentium III Cheers Andreas -- Andreas Baumann Trottenstrasse 20 CH-8037 Zuerich Telefon: +41(0)76/373 01 29 E-mail: mail@andreasbaumann.cc Homepage: www.andreasbaumann.cc
Because, I personally like to have one rescue thumb drive for both i686 and x86_64, I try to keep the dual-bootable iso up to date, too. But if it needs to much time, I might drop that.
Cheers, Erich

There are people who havent purchased x86_64 systems yet, so i686 only iso that fits on cd is appealing. If we wanted x86_64 iso we could just go to archlinux.org, right?
Ive been running arch on an acer O751h since 2013. The wiki documentation has always been a crucial part to learning the distro. I hope that continues w the port.

Hi i686-fans,
to not loose any potential new i686-users, I moved on by forking archiso and generating a current dual-bootable iso. Currently it resides at https://eckner.net/archlinux-2017.03.25-dual.iso, but maybe somewhen in the future we can move it to some more official place ;-) The source of archiso32 resides at github:
github.com/archlinux32/archiso32.
I stumbled upon one question: Is it desirable to have the iso dual bootable (i686 and x86_64) or do we want a solely i686-iso? The benefit of a i686-only-iso would be, that it'd fit on a cd. The benefit of a dual-bootable one would be, that we could use archiso32 as it is right now and that you can boot any machine (32 or 64 bits) with this - obviously. Any comments are appreciated.

I think it is better to add the link at http://archlinux32.org/ And I'll prefer the dual architecture but many old computers doesn't boot from usb and burning dvd for ~800mb sounds like wasting a dvd disk. Maybe a dual netboot might me an option. _______________________________________________ arch-ports mailing list arch-ports@archlinux.org https://lists.archlinux.org/listinfo/arch-ports
