If you want, you can use this feature that allows you to save your data, settings and customizations on your stick.

In this way, you will find all your customizations on every boot, customizations as bash history, firefox settings, icons, theme, email accounts etc. Follow these steps:

1. Download home archone file from download section
2. Extract the file img (don’t rename it!)
• the default size is 500 mb, if you want to change size please follow the instructions here
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

You can install ArchOne on your netbook: 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.

How to: create file img of your preferred size by following these steps:

1. Run in a terminal:

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

2. copy that file img in your device
3. reboot and boot in your ArchOne release
4. mount the partition of your device where you have copied the file img
5. Run in a terminal these steps:

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

6. sudo mke2fs -t ext4 /dev/loop2

7. sudo mkdir /media/temp_home

8. sudo mount /dev/loop2 /media/temp_home

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

10. sudo chmod -R 777 /media/temp_home

11. sudo chown -R archone /media/temp_home

12. sudo chgrp -R users /media/temp_home

Now you can go back to step 3 of the previous post.

If someone has nothing to do, have time available, and would try to install archone on his netbook at any cost, you should test for me larchin package in this way:

1. download larchin package from here (80k)
2. extract it in your partition, pen drive, tera drive etc..
3. run archone
4. run in a shell:

   export LANG=C
   sudo /<location of larchin>/run/larchin.py
   

5. try to install
6. write me what happened

Why don’t I try to install it ?!?

Because I’ve a small problem in virtualbox: I can’t format the partitions that I created with gparted (it seems a bug..) and obviously I don’t want to format my netbook for this test

so if someone will comment that it works and that everything is ok, I will integrate in the next release.

Thanks!!
