Saw something on Distro Tube that I thought was interesting, using dmenu to select key config files. So wrote my own version. As you can see it allow you to select a config, it will then open file in a terminal (nano). This might mean setting up of mirrors far easier. You can also change … Dmenu config script and some other changes…
In addition to Paypal support I have now set up a Patreon page for ArchBang. Currently working towards SSL for site (although my hosting company is slow on getting it set up).

For now Arch wiki is your friend. Not really sure if swap is working correctly personally, never use it so would … Quick Update syslinux fixed..
Turns out ArchBang installer is not loading microcode during install. Latest iso (2407) fixes issue. Basically abinstall now checks vender_id and loads microcode into /boot.
