Voodoo Beta2 ISO release
Hi folks,
after one month heavy hacking during the evenings/weekends on archboot.
0.8 Beta2 Isos are available for i686 and x86_64.
This time only isolinux is used to avoid non booting cd media.
- switched to kernel 2.6.20.1
- to boot the ISO 96 MB RAM are recommended, it breaks somewhere between 80 - 90 MB RAM.
(calculated like this: kernel image + initrd size + decompressed initrd)
- fixed many other small things i cannot remember ;)
The 0.8 Isos now run like any installed arch system,
here are the highlights:
* pacman is included to allow installation of any other needed package
in install environment.
* complete /etc/rc.d/ and /etc/rc.conf support
* complete arch network support, including ssh,telnet and portmap services
* custom config files support:
any media with /config directory and files will be copied to /etc/
install environment
* loading packages as addons during boot:
any media with /packages directory including pacman packages will be
installed during bootup.
* links and naim included to be able to communicate over the internet.
* complete kexec support
* updated doku to 0.8
ISOs are on the way to the mirrors so please be patient until they are synced.
i686
x86_64
everything mentioned here should be fixed:
Showstoppers
Forum feedback thread is here:

please test those Isos well and try to break them, we are stepping forward to
rc candidates soon 
Again to clarify Beta2 doesn't mean Arch 0.8 is in beta2 stage, the install
environment is meant with beta2.
Have fun and thanks for testing.
greetings
