#1 Consider renaming ISO files, so that target architecture is labelled.

Hi, Liz.

I've just downloaded the latest release (20170421), to test on my 32-bit laptop. It's at this point that I realized that the ISO is only suitable for 64-bit machines. With this in mind, would it be possible to name the files, so that this is obvious? Apologies for not spotting this elsewhere, on Sourceforge. Well done with this really promising work. Next, all we need is for the init system to be selectable (like the alternate Manjaro openrc ISO, and it will keep the non-systemd people happy :-)

Cheers,

    Thanks for your kind comments, Chris. Unfortunately, Arch Linux themselves are pulling the plug on their 32 bit option, so Feliz has had to follow suit. However, the previous release (feliz-2017.02.22.iso) is still available, and should work fine. It is just that Arch are removing support for 32 bit software, so the 32 bit applications in the Arch repos won't be updated. Just a reminder, by the way - whichever Feliz iso you use, it will always run the latest version of the scripts; I only produce a new Feliz iso occasionally to stay with the Arch releases. I will update the description here in Sourceforge to reflect what we are discussing here. Thanks for informing me.

    Hi, Liz.

    Thanks for replying. I completely forgot about the 32-bit decision. I'll install using the older ISO, as suggested. Need to geta 64-bit test laptop.

    Cheers,

    Chris

    New ISOs will be named with x86_64 to show single architecture
