Synthesis
- check you have the correct archiso version
- git clone the project
git clone https://github.com/arcolinuxiso/alci-iso
- change content of archiso/packages.x86_64 or not
- use meld to compare the other packages files – example-packages.x86_64 and original-packages.x86_64
- change content of pacman.conf or not
- use meld to compare the other pacman.conf files – it adds ArcoLinux or Chaotic repos
- if you want the extra repos on your future system change /archiso/airootfs/etc/pacman.conf too
- choose a build script in folder installation-scripts
- 30 – cleans cache and downloads all packages (first time build)
- 40 – reuses the cache – less downloads (second time build)
- burn the iso (iso is in the ~/Alci-Out folder)
In the video you see every step I take to create your own Arch Linux Calamares iso.
Then we test it in VirtualBox and install Xfce4 later.
Commands I used after the installation of ALCI are:
- sudo pacman -Syyu
- sudo pacman -S xorg-server xorg-apps
- sudo pacman -S lightdm lightdm-gtk-greeter
- sudo pacman -S xfce4 xfce4-goodies
- sudo systemctl enable lightdm
- sudo reboot

Moving around in the live environment
It is basically a very minimal i3 environment.
Remember the following keyboard shortcuts
Super + Return opens xterm
Super + x shuts down the system
Super + s shuts down the system
Super + r reboots the system
Super + Shift + q kills a window
Super + q kills a window
You have 4GB of space to install other packages on the live environment.
We like to install thunar for example to navigate.
