If anyone feels like testing the current state of things, here you go: http://build.archlinux.org/isos/ built using the latest archiso-git, and current packages. haven't tested these images myself.

One warning: core-dual is> 700MB, should use another profile for archiso2dual (-T split).
Is this using a lzma compressed squashfs?
No, since lzma is still unsupported officially in Linux. Maybe in 2.6.38...
Weren't we going to use a patched kernel to enable ugly-code lzma for archiso only? Anyway the gain is small (27M/54M single/dual images) and for now using dual iso with -T split is sufficient (is just below 700MB

with -T split we went from 759MiB to 687MiB. so that's 72MiB. if lzma can gain 54M(i)B that's pretty nice as well, and it shrinks all images, not just dual. Btw Gerardo, in your archiso2dual readme, can you document the downsides of -T split? Afaik having the shared usershare.sqfs is not a problem, right? And I just noticed with -T split /lib/modules are still separate sqfs for both architectures. what advantage does this give? Dieter
