I tried several way but when it come to the upgrade of filesystem, i get an error : "boot is not writable" I guess it may come from the fact that I've launched from an iso file... I tried to dd it inside vbox but I didn't manage to launch it... I would really appreciate if someone as a solution or at least advices Thanks S.

It seems that I can't find how to observe a thread ^^" However my objective is to use CTKARch live to build my own personalized arch. Many things have changed since the last version of ctkarch and I don't want to have to do every tips to get ctkarch updated every time.So i planned to first update the last version, create an addon or a new live cd. And then install and configure it to my use for creating an addon or a new live cd. Is there a better way to do it? Thank you S.

The kernel needs the AUFS module, and you must rebuild the livecd's initrd with the udev and modules of today. The scripts must be adapted for this, as well. In other words: only solution would be a new version of the livecd. I was on the brink of doing one, but ArchLinux has gone crazy with systemd and stuff, so I'm waiting for things to settle a bit, for the new version to stay up durably (installation and upgrades, I mean), as 0.7 did, quite properly, until some time ago.
