Arch has put latest kernel out of date so a new one is due very soon. If not available by end of tomorrow I will get an image uploaded.
Made a couple of small changes. The guide no longer states changes locally will be made to target install. While this was true a few years ago, I have switched to copying airootfs from image to target. Could add a function to include changes but it will get complicated very quickly so for now I will avoid dealing with that rabbit hole.
Abinstall now creates a unique machine-id post install.
More information here:

Something that may be if interest is a way to create pacman-keys post install. Am thinking of a small script called ab-pacman-keys in ~/AB_Scripts, it checks for a network connection then creates fresh keys also updates archlinux-keyring. This will be part of new iso image, for testing, will update Guide to include a note about script.
Once again I wish to thank everyone for supporting ArchBang it all helps keeps the lights on here.
Enjoy your weekend
Stay safe….
