Uploaded Summer Release, no real surprises…just more up to date. Going to spend less time at the keyboard and enjoy the warm weather while it lasts. Now thinking of switching to a tiling window manager in ArchBang, not sure yet which one (dwm would be my choice). I really like bspwm but the lack of … Finally summer has arrived
Just uploaded a summer beta release. Updated themes, wallpaper and packages. Zen installer can now be accessed via openbox menu. Would still for time being setup servers using ‘setup-mirror’ via a terminal. Given you have a working network connection (wired or wifi) zen will do the rest. It has a whole host of options for … Here comes summer, well release anyway…

I have a few requests in the past for a network based flexible installer. Well I came across revenge (now called zen-installer). After emailing developer I am starting to test it under ArchBang.

Well not that long after Spring release I started working on beta iso. Some minor changes, was not happy with pacman script so have added some commands to .bashrc (an alias and a function). setup-pacman-key does exactly that and works live as well as post install.

Have updated Guide to reflect changes (must do one online at some point). So you … Change of plan…
Started working on ArchBang beta from day I released Spring edition. Think pacman-setup script has thrown a lot of users wanting pacman to work out of the box. Iso now boots very fast so it was always going to be a trade off. Once installed however you need to set up keys for your new … Working on Beta and I forgot something!
