if I could copy the latest installation media ISO Īs a more thorough inspection of the pen shows, all the default bootable pen has are images like ISOs. What exactly, besides what is referred in the article, and the EFI boot partition, do I need to watch out for? Must I use fdisk or is gdisk OK? What bootloader should I choose? I'd prefer GRUB, simply because I'm used to it, but I heard Syslinux is better (and easier) for this purpose.
Can I do that? How exactly? Is this supported?
I don't mind reinstalling the system, but I'd surely prefer if I could copy the latest installation media ISO and tweak the necessary options (auto login, hostname, clearing of changes on reboot, etc.). I see the normal installation pen has an EFI instead of a BIOS Boot partition. How can I get it to run on any computer, the same way the usual Arch Linux installation pen does? That is the whole point, to have a pen that is ensured to boot on any computer to which I have physical access, rendering its usual data protection measures, i.e. That is, if I insert it in other computer (the ones I tested had Windows with BIOS, not UEFI), I cannot change the boot order, because the pen does not appear as a bootable device.
The problem is that pen in which I installed Arch only works on my computer. I've followed this article, and been able to get a fully working 32-bit installation on a Kingston DataTraveler 8GB pen drive, with a BIOS boot partition, and a home/root ext4 file system without journaling partition, and no swap.
