Basically it is a smaller version of ArchBang without all the heavy packages. It is based on Archlinux and run dwm tiling window manager and st terminal, not much else. Is there an installer? No Vole ships with arch-install-scripts only. What is it for? Possible uses are testing out dwm tilting window manager, seeing how … What is Project Vole?
I have been asked about installing ArchBang32 version as abinstall fails to install kernel. Have updated my guide to include a workaround pacman keys not working. It is a bit of a hack to get system up and running. Will test again and edit guide should I find an easier solution. Bear with me, lockdown … ArchBang32
Archbang website lives for another year 😉 Project_Vole had 10 downloads last week a new record. At some point I will update iso and upload, scroll has been added and I think I may have changed font in st. Have a love hate relationship with DWM. I love the 60/40 split when cracking open terminals. … Another year of hosting
Been told that I have missed a required package for wireless connections. Am rebuilding iso and will upload a new version. Bascially after removing NetworkManager package adds wpa_supplicant & dhcpcd which is needed for wifi-menu. Certainly many way to connect to a wired or wireless network.

Managed to shave near 100Mbs off iso size (though still no UEFI yet). Added a new folder called Vole which contains useful things like dwm and st configs and a small guide.

Iso is at alpha as it is still very work in progress. Some key board short cuts to get you started: Super + Shift + Return … Project Vole Lives again….
It has been brought to my attention that zen installer script is not working. The script was a bit of hack to start with. All it does is tests for a working network connection then locates your country based on ip address and try to set up mirrorlist. The zif script is then downloaded and … Zen installer fail
Hopefully 2021 will be a better year… New iso for 2021, includes 5.10 kernel (finally arrived in arch repos!), Firefox browser has returned. This will be my last iso until Spring, need to focus on real world things. Meanwhile I will make sure my source files are up to date and make any changes visible … Happy New Year 😉
Well will be glad when this year is over. This will be the last iso this year, might be some time before the next. My thoughts are to go back to a quarterly release scheme based on seasons. Have had so little in the way of donations I may have to consider giving up my … Last iso this year
Well it might be fate but I have uploaded a new iso today. Was hoping that 5.10 be available but as I type it is still in testing. Not many real major changes have updated build script again to bring it in line with archiso. Some users may notice a new directory called Packages. Inside … Really wanted kernel 5.10…
