larch – a do-it-yourself live Arch Linux system



Changes from larch-5


The most obvious change is that there is a graphical user interface. I am not really sure myself whether this is a good idea or not, but it's there and I had an interesting time producing the mountain of code behind it. I suppose it's all rather anti-KISS in the end (don't ask me how many different threads and processes it starts!), but there are some advantages ...

Most of the other changes are concerned with providing new features. ***+ The extent of the changes means that it will probably take a while until the bugs get ironed out and everything works. I am calling the present state alpha, while the documentation is not finished and a few implementation details are still under review. I will call it beta and give it release numbers starting with 7.1 when most of that is cleared up. -***
