Have just uploaded another iso image, Arch has updated its kernel yet again! Might be the last iso until Winter release. Do not seem to have much interest in ArchBang these days (got quite a bit of competition) As always feel free to email me if you have any issues or suggestions… Mr Green
I have found a small bug in Abinstall, as I have switched back to autologin via a systemd service (getty@tty1.service.d) I forgot to uncomment a line in mvuser script. Basically you need to edit autologin.conf change ‘ablive’ to your chosen username. Will give you file path… /etc/systemd/system/getty@tty1.service.d/autologin.conf Edit as sudo… Have rebuilt iso and will … Small bug in Abinstall
Think many users are getting confused with ArchBang source forge page. As most recent iso link downloads Project Vole. To solve this I have moved Vole to its own source forge page. projectvole Have uploaded an iso (more to test rsync). This may mean I get far less downloads but am looking to switch Vole … Project Vole now has its own source forge page.
To reduce size of iso I have switched to Spectrwm window manager. Have given it the bare minimum of settings, opening a terminal remains the same [Super+Return].

Think I have Vole working to the point I can go ‘rc’ release. Updating iso now. Changes are minor but have removed connman, netctl does the job and wifi-menu is far easier to use. Wpa-supplicant is still present if you really stuck. Would like to get iso below 500mbs, very close but a long way … Switch Vole to RC release
Have uploaded a new iso called Vole. It is very much work in progress but does have some interesting features (well lack of!). Basically its a stripped down version of ArchBang but does not come with much if not anything other than i3 window manager, urxvt terminal and no installer. Think of it as an … Top Secret Project Vole
Just checked the stats over on source forge, have had near 2000 downloads in three days! A new record 😉 Normally look at something around that after at least three weeks. Gives me the drive to carry on. Thank you so much, really pleased. Mr Green (o)>
