Open a terminal window (in archlinux, in your home directory): $ mkdir -p dvd/var/lib/pacman $ cd dvd $ cp -r /var/lib/pacman ./var/lib/ $ pacman -r . -Sy $ pacman -r . -S $(pacman -Qq) This will install all the packages you have in archlinux into the dvd folder. Next step: Then you'll have to configure grub or some other bootloader inside the dvd folder and then while making the ISO using some tool (k3b,etc.) you will have to choose the boot image. Installing on a pen drive is easier and also upgradable. The steps are same. Reply if you'd like to know about installing on pen drive. -- Nilesh Govindarajan Facebook: nilesh.gr Twitter: nileshgr Website: www.itech7.com -- l...@iitd - http://tinyurl.com/ycueutm
