Hi, i setup a archiso repo at github http://github.com/gerbra/archiso/tree where i will push my patches. I hope i get better familiar with git ;-) As Aaron and Dieter told me it's easier to pull commits from a repo into the main git than with git-format-patch email attachments. [Patch] Added vfat support to mount /dev/archiso http://github.com/gerbra/archiso/commit/fd93e7c9bd614a026f1d661f359012a4c1e0... With this I was able to use our ISOs and unetbootin tool to bring the image onto a already vfat formatted USB stick and boot from this. This is way many user use to not have to blow their stick with our recommend dd method. Using unetbootin method the user also have to change archisolabel in unetbootin-bootmanager to the label of their USB stick. Restriction: The USB stick label should not have whitespaces in the name. I tried it with: archisolabel=My\x20\Stick but with no success. Instead a stick labeled with arch200908 works fine. We should add these hints either in documentation or on a similar wiki page for users which try to use the images other than the recommend way. Some draft notes: Recommend: ISO -> burn on a high quality medium and with a slower speed (max 8x) cause we use highly compressed data on the ISOs USB/IMG -> only full supported method is using the: dd if=arch.img of=/dev/sdX bs=1M method, which erases ALL data on the stick (cause the partition table is overwritten). UNetbootin -> your usb stick must have a label without white-spaces in the label-name. This label you must supply as the archisolabel parameter in bootloader. Gerhard
