I am uploading a new iso (kernel update mostly). Looking at two more weeks before final release of ArchBang. I have been making isos for near ten years now. Think it is time to retire. There are so many live Arch based isos out there and ArchBang can no longer compete. Most are far more … Another week, messing with live media and coming up too final release
If you are thinking of installing ArchBang32 you may find a few issues. It can be done but you will need to run a few commands to get the job done. Abinstall was built for ArchBang x86_64 version. After running installer you will find that system will not boot as entries for ArchBang are missing. … 32bit install
I have built a 32bit version of ArchBang with i3 tiling window manager. You can check it out on ArchBang SourceForge page. It is very beta at the moment. Am building via a Virtual Machine which makes build process very slow. No uefi support yet but I could always create one in the future if … ArchBang32 available
I am working on an i686 version of ArchBang based on Archlinux32. Have a working iso but it is very beta at the moment. Building and testing on a virtual machine is painful at best. If I get enough users needing 32bit version then I will set up build on real hardware. May not have … Anyone for a 32Bit version?
Another week another iso, updated and uploaded. Still getting messages of support for i3 version. Still think that ArchBang over its history has always been Openbox based. Will keep configuration files for i3 version and at some point so could build both versions. Other news I am working on a 32bit release, it is very … ArchBang Openbox or i3?
Today I have uploaded a beta Openbox version 😉 Hopefully I have managed to restore most (if not all features) of original ArchBang. Please test and let me know of any issues. Do need to work more on the *.desktop files that are in Openbox menu.xml. Might need to tone done the green colour as … Beta Openbox version …
Just a quick post, Openbox is back. Will go beta for next release as abinstall will need testing to make sure all openbox changes are done. Bit more cleaning up to do, mostly to remove i3 configs and any links to it. Good news Openbox ArchBang dark theme is working and will be shipped very … Openbox is back!!!
Am uploading a new iso. Mostly to cover kernel update. Will then start switching back to Openbox for next week. Had even thought about trying JWM, it is more like Openbox and lighter so maybe be an option. Feel that i3 was just a little too basic for old and new users. ArchBang was always … Last ride for i3 Window Manager
Think I may have upset users by switching ArchBang to i3 window manager. A recent review on Distro Watch highlighted the fact that i3 is not Openbox and is less user friendly. Use i3 on a daily basis and like its minimal setup, which for me makes it more productive and does not get in … Changes are not always welcome….
Well my mirror script in abinstall was not working correctly so I am rebuilding iso with a fix. Basically I was having a problem with redirecting a file. Just needed to simply insert directly into file. Switched out Firefox for Netsurf, iso was getting very close too a gig in size. Uploading new iso now, … Update to fix installer
