Recently iso image has started to grow in size and was get close too 1.3Gbs so decided to look at what is being dragged in during iso build. First pavucontrol uses gtk4 so its another graphical toolkit for just one application [and not a large one at that!]. Second which I think will upset a … Two things to reduce iso image size that may upset some users.
Just finished uploading a new summer iso image. Currently ‘rc’ as I still want to make some minor changes to theme but it is a clean new look.

As I am used to using arch-install-scripts I proceeded to follow archlinux install … Am testing Archlinux32….

Am building and uploading [soon] updated iso image, fresh packages and latest kernel. Also brought archiso up to date, so please test install make sure it is working ok.
