11 Update of Archiso of 1st of June 2020
On June 1st of 2020 we get an update in. As always we need to follow up anything that happens to this application and adjust our scripts to it (if we want). It is our goal to stay as close as possible to the Arch Linux iso at all times. We compare the new files with...
10 Using the Gnome desktop just because we can
In this video we create a Carli with Gnome. We have changed the Sddm autologin. We investigate what is inside gnome-extra. Are we missing packages now we have not installed gnome-extra. We add gnome-tweaks dconf-editor
9 Using the xfce4 desktop and checking if our target system is clean
This is the time to build Carli with Xfce4. We show you where we can read the log file of Calamares. You can see what is going on and also what is not removed or what is installed. The Calamares log is important for the future developers. We investigate the "Exit...
8 Using the Mate desktop and making sure the liveuser has been deleted
We just discovered we still have the liveuser on our target system. We need to change the configuration of Calamares. There is a module to remove the user. We require the module removeuser to run in settings.conf and we need the removeuser.conf.
7 Playing around with other desktops – Cinnamon and Mate
CINNAMONLet us create Carli Cinnamon now. We encounter a problem. We show you how to analyze Calamares if an error occurs. We were missing libpwquality. We added libpwquality as a dependency in the pkgbuild of Calamares. We show you as well what tor-browser does and...

4 Building packages in a clean chroot environment
It would be nice to have an AUR helper on our iso like yay-bin or trizen. We show you how to build yay-bin with makepkg. Lateron we will build yay-bin in a chroot environment. We follow the tutorial from above link to build yay-bin in a clean chroot. We also see if we...
3 Building a new Calamares configuration – adding netinstall to give users the choice to install a browser
We keep the application Calamares and the configuration apart. Now we will analyze what we can update and improve in our current configuration. We use meld to compare files and folders from Carli with the files and folders from Calamares (now 3.2.24). There was...
2 Building the latest Calamares
Creating a new Calamares is actually super easy now because we have already a pkgbuild of an older version. So we only need to change the version and put the new version on our Carli repo. We discover we need dependencies. In order to be able to build we create a...
