NIIXarch final ( STANDARD + EXTRA )

[MrNiitriiX]

Hi all,
I finnaly managed to sort out most of the problems i was having ...

INFO
here is the first public release of NIIXarch. It is based on arch with the xfce desktop environment. Added (pacbang) Installer for ease of use which works fine with LUKS encryption. I have added firefox, sound, network applet and openvpn network manager addon. added a theme + icons but have tried to keep it as vanilla as possible ( basically giving you arch with all the boring stuff out of the way). This is a rolling release...so once installed you will always be up to date. The installer is OFFLINE (all packages needed for install are on the ISO, unlike arch which downloads them as you install). Access to the AUR (arch user repo's.) is preconfigured. In the post installation folder you have the KEY to download Tor (copy past to terminal and hit enter...then you can downlaod Tor).

EXTRA INFO:
- [SOLVED]NumLock is active from boot, so on keyboards without the numpad this must be disabled (or keyboard layout is messed up)
- [SOLVED]The folder on desktop "post installation" is buggy and has already been updated for next iso (will try and get that uploaded tonight)
- [SOLVED]Sourceforge account has been created but uploads keep failing so its on mega.nz for the time being
- A more fully featured version with added programs is in the works (maybe 2 versions, 1 for security the other for multimedia)
- Source Code will be added to sourcefogr as soon as the upload issue is sorted...

Is there any chance you could release this as a torrent or is that just a silly question?

I would love to give it a spin............

@Pantheon - cheers mate i just made a new ISO and added gufw (think that should be included in minimal iso also). Thnx for the list looks good ... i was thinking about going tixati for the torrent client...the rest looks pretty standard.

Pidgin ?
electrum ?
popcorntime-ce ?
docky ?
openshot ?
veracrypt ?


Bug Fixes / changes:

- Sound not working in games installed via WINE
- (temp work around) Installer permissions not working resulting in failed install (see PRE install file on desktop)
- ADDED : gufw, custom boot screen, new backgrounds, other minor tweaks to UI
- Updated post install file (removed .sh files and added the codes as a text file, so people can see whats going on)
