Linuxarch Files

These files allow you to install Arch Linux using Calamares GUI. This is more geared towards developers and hence does not come with the usual bloatware in say Gnome or Plasma, but still includes the essentials.

The builds are dev-ready so will be able to build Android ROM's "out of the box"

You have a choice of five different kernels; Linux, Linux-Hardened, Linux-Mainline, Linux-Zen, or Linux-Xanmod. Pick which one best suits your needs.

To use these files, after downloading which one you want, run this command to put it onto a usb key ....

Linux:

sudo dd if = /path/to/iso of - /dev/sdb (your usb key point) status - progress    

*****MAKE SURE of - /dev/sdb is 100% set right to your USB key*****

Alternatively, you can simply use a program like Etcher to burn the ISO for you

Windows:

Use something like ISO Burn or Imgburn. There are many options for windows including Etcher program.
