1. Download home archone file from download section
2. Extract the file img (don’t rename it!) and go to step 3…
   • … OR you can create img manually (eg if you want choose size of img), by following these steps:

     • dd if=/dev/zero of=/<location>/home_archone.img bs=1M count=<size>, eg size 500 for 500 mb

     • copy file img in your device
     • boot from ArchOne
     • mount the partition of your device where’s locate file img

     • sudo losetup /dev/loop2 /<mount_point_of_device>/home_archone.img

     • sudo mke2fs -t ext4 /dev/loop2

     • sudo mkdir /media/temp_home

     • sudo mount /dev/loop2 /media/temp_home

     • sudo cp -R /home/archone/. /media/temp_home/

     • sudo chmod -R 777 /media/temp_home

     • sudo chown -R archone /media/temp_home

     • sudo chgrp -R users /media/temp_home

3. Copy file img in the root of your device (add a partition on the same usb stick or use another device)
4. Add the parameter “persistent_home=/dev/sd<ID device>” to kernel parameters, in /<mount_device_archone>/boot/grub/menu.lst, eg:

   title ArchOne
   kernel /boot/vmlinuz26 lang=it ... persistent_home=/dev/sdb2
   initrd /boot/ArchOne.img

5. reboot

How To install

From this release, you can install ArchOne on your netbook.

To install it, you can simply run the script /arch/setup:

sudo /arch/setup

I’ve tested the installer on my virtual machine, and it worked without problems.

However, for any problems, post them in comments so I will improve it in the future release.

Special Thanks

A special thanks to Gianguido Sorà for the suggestions and support on the new installer of this distro.
