Hello, a draft for a README file in our ISO directory (or where we have to explain what each file is for). We could make the file names anonymous like archlinux-200X.yy-ftp-i686.iso or name them exactly as the current files. Then we have to change this README each ISO release.
--------------------- ArchLinux Installation and Live-CD's ----------------------------
All CD's and USB-Images are installation mediums and Live-CD's, which an be used as maintenance and rescue systems.
FTP-ISO's/Images: ----------------- These are be the preferred install mediums for ArchLinux. You get always the actual package versions using these mediums. archlinux-200X.yy-ftp-i686.iso i686/32bit CD-ISO archlinux-200X.yy-ftp-i686.img i686/32bit USB-Image archlinux-200X.yy-ftp-x86_64.iso x86_64/64bit CD-ISO archlinux-200X.yy-ftp-x86_64.img x86_64/64bit USB-Image
For those who have problems with Grub as ISO bootloader, we offer also CD-ISO's with isolinux as bootloader. archlinux-200X.yy-isolinux-ftp-i686.iso i686/32bit CD-ISO archlinux-200X.yy-isolinux-ftp-x86_64.iso x86_64/64bit CD-ISO
Core-ISO's/Images: ------------------ These are for offline installations when no Internet access available to install the base system. archlinux-200X.yy-core-i686.iso i686/32bit CD-ISO archlinux-200X.yy-core-i686.img i686/32bit USB-Image archlinux-200X.yy-core-x86_64.iso x86_64/64bit CD-ISO archlinux-200X.yy-core-x86_64.img x86_64/64bit USB-Image
How to use these installation images: ------------------------------------- See section in the "Arch Linux Install Guide": http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Official_Arch_Linux_Install_Guide#Pre-In... For the USB-Images see: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Install_from_USB_stick
Happy installing! Happy ARCHing! --------------------------
Looks great. The only addition is that I've been putting the isolinux at the end like: sed s/.iso/-isolinux.iso/ Do we have any opinion on where this would go? I just figured this way it will dirsort BELOW the right ISOs.
