Arch Linux Installation and Live-CDs ---------------------------- All images give you a live console environment in which you can do a manual or automatic installation and which can be used as maintenance and rescue systems. All iso files can also be written to hard disks/usbkeys. Flavors: -------- Netinstall images are the preferred install media for Arch Linux. You can always get up to date packages using these media. Core images contain a snapshot of the core repository, which makes them ideal for offline installations when no Internet access is available to install the base system. (you can do a netinstall with these also) Both come in i686, x86_64 or dual variant. The latter contains both and lets you choose an architecture at boot. How to obtain and use these installation images: ------------------------------------- Torrents are preferred (they are webseed enabled), but you can also just get the images from an Arch mirror.
