Building the ISO

Prerequisites

To build this ISO, you need an Arch Linux system (or Arch-based derivative) with the archiso package installed.

sudo pacman -S archiso

Build Instructions

1. Clone the repository:
   bash git clone https://github.com/your-username/flow-arch.git cd flow-arch

2. Navigate to the archiso directory:
   bash cd archiso

3. Run the build script:
   bash sudo ./build.sh
   Note: The build process requires root privileges to create the filesystem and package artifacts.

4. Locate the ISO:
   Once the build completes, the ISO file will be available in the out/ directory:
   archiso/out/flow-arch-YYYY.MM.DD-x86_64.iso

Usage

• Live Boot: Flash the ISO to a USB drive using a tool like Etcher or dd, then boot from it.
• Testing: You can test the ISO in a virtual machine (e.g., QEMU/KVM, VirtualBox).
