** This is a list of end-user visible features/fixes since 2011.08.19 from "archiso side". Features: * COW persistent: COW files can be stored in any place (see cow_*= boot params) * New boot parm img_label= for ISO loopback boot method * /bootmnt is now at /run/archiso/bootmnt * Network boot (PXE) via HTTP and NFS with DNS support from initramfs * Syslinux menu for selecting boot method (HTTP/NFS/NBD) when PXE is used * Setting up a PXE from live-enviroment is now trivially since syslinux *.cfg reorder/unification. * KMS modules added to initramfs * checksum= option is performed only for SquashFS images * EFI boot support on CD-ROM via "El Torito" (very basic and trivial but functional) Instructions provided to make an "USB-key" EFI-ready from ISO, is documented on README. * README update with much more documentation. Fixes: * ISO loopback boot method (no more earlymodules=loop workaround needed) * Serial console not enabled in dual-isos at syslinux. * Updated needed parts to match current packages changes. ** From dev-user (who want to build ISOs yourself), there are lots of interesting changes and fixes see the git log for details since commit 61114497b219efa865ae2ecda414e23a689a66bd -- Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi \cos^2\alpha + \sin^2\alpha = 1

Instead of putting all this into the news item and might be better to link to e.g. a wiki article for details and just mention the top highlights on the news. Some features might need a longer explanation; e.g. where do I find those cow_* params and how do I use loopback boot etc. Greetings, Pierre -- Pierre Schmitz, https://pierre-schmitz.com

Sound good. Anyway these options are explained a bit in the README[#1] with some examples ;) [#1] https://projects.archlinux.org/archiso.git/tree/README -- Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi \cos^2\alpha + \sin^2\alpha = 1
