Has anyone seen this??


Additionally, you may want a message to be shown above the boot line:
$ vim boot-files/isolinux/my-arch.msg
This can be any arbitrary message in ASCII:
HI GENTLEMEN LOL

I HOPE U ENJOY MAKE UR TIME
HA-HA-HA
Please do note that you will first have to manually get the memtest*.bin from somewhere first because it won't be put there for you. If you do not want to use it, please comment it out.


It's in the archiso (http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Archiso#Using_isolinux) article.

The best year was 2101, when war was beginning.

Hm, we geeks need to start making more subtle references and memes; it looks like the general population is catching up on the current ones.

I think I will, but I'd rather not have butter. Some blackberry preserves would be better.

For the record - I told EDavidBurg (jokingly) that I was going to change his avatar to an English Muffin, as he constantly refers to me as one on IRC.

Given that he then seemed keen on the idea and said I should - I did :)

I don't want people thinking I go around changing avatars if I'm bored ;)

Of course, though that's more visible, so I didn't mention it.

Only when I get to abuse them on your account :)
