So squashfs-lzma is included with the kernel, then? If so, that is great, because I don't have to build it then.

No. squashfs is. squashfs-lzma is not. larch has a PKGBUILD to build squashfs lzma - which i have considered for inclusion in extra.

Another question, is there anything special run at startup by the LiveCD which isn't run by a standard Arch release, such as startup scripts?

Nope. The liveCD is just an arch system. If you want custom steps run, I would recommend adding a daemon script to /etc/rc.d/<foo> on the livecd and adding it to the DAEMONS array in rc.conf. Either that, or use rc.local - the same steps you would take on your normal machine

Thanks a lot! You've really helped clear things up. :) Smartboy
