Am building this weeks iso image as I write this post. Mostly updated packages with two minor changes.

If you do have problems then please … New iso minor changes….

Noticed that Arch has updated kernel overnight, so I have updated iso and uploaded image. Enjoy the rest of your weekend…
Have been using Archlinux for a while now and have got so used to it, find it really hard to run anything else. Well I did install Ubuntu on my laptop for a day! Then switched back to Arch. Would never say Archlinux is perfect but it works for me and for the most part … Pacman is wonderful 😉
