Hi, so I wanted to create a live cd of my VM's Arch Linux installation and make it bootable. It should be the exact replica of what installation I have. I went ahead and checked this forum: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=131036 But I didn't understand one of the following replies...

I actually reinstalled my whole system. I copied all my files and pasted them into a new installation. I luckily had a lot of .deb files so I installed them and now it works perfectly. :)

I don't know where to post this but here's my issue: I had Ubuntu 18.04.4 LTS with Windows 8.1 dual boot. Today I accidentally deleted all the partitons in that hard drive except my ubuntu partition. I even deleted my system partition. But I had backed up my home folder before rebooting the...

I understand the risks. I'm just trying to create a user in a shell script, install yay using that user, and then finally deleting that user. There's no wrong with that. Also I want that specific user to have some sudo privilleges, that's why. Thanks a lot for suggesting that forum to me. Was...

Hey so I wanted to create a shell script so that a user is added in which the user has sudo privilleges. My code went like this: #!/bin/bash useradd liveuser ; echo -e "liveuser\nliveuser" | passwd liveuser usermod -aG sudo liveuser su liveuser exit It did create the user with the password but...

I don't own a iMac or an apple product, but this sure is useful! I like these type of info :)

Hey, I was wondering if it was possible to create a custom themes using 48 * 48 pixel png images as icons. I don't know how to CREATE a theme. I don't find any answer to that in the internet. I will continue to create the theme icons only if I get a confirmation answer. It's ok to just modify...

I guess Zorin is good and stylish enough. It's beautiful and really fast but if you want a better experience you could go with Lubuntu / Xubuntu and modify it according to your needs (like change the desktop environment) You could also try Manjaro's XFCE edition. It's great for slow systems. Do...

Great going! Manjaro should stay that way for a long time. It's good hearing that you gave that netbook a fresh start!

The code you gave works like a charm! What I understood from your code is that you created a temporary file test and made another file called test1 and transferred your code to it. You then set the password as the username1 file and delete both of these files. Pretty awesome! (Correct me if my...

Thanks.. Really appreciated your help! :D

Oh... so they heavily modified arch linux and added more stability. That's great actually :O Now I have to find out how to make a iso file out of the usb drive to flash

So you mean that if I take a live cd/usb, install arch on any USB drive, set up scripts and install xfce4 in it, create an iso file of my current installation and flash it to another USB or CD, other users can boot to a live environment with all my scripts and xfce4?? I will read the article you...

Is it possible to include some packages and the xfce4 DE in arch linux Live CD?? I would like to have this so that users will boot into a DE instead of a CLI interface. Don't forget that I want some packages to be installed too. Help is appreciated. -Cheers

Great netbook! I would suggest Manjaro's xfce edition. Manjaro's really great and it's arch. It really runs smooth. If you want a debian distribution, I'd say lubuntu would be best for that netbook. And welcome to linux.org :)
