This is how ISO will look now:
/syslinux only syslinux related files (syslinux.cfg, *.c32, etc)
/arch/ isomounts + *.sqfs images
/arch/boot/ Linux + initramfs + Memtest86+ + other files for early boot stage

The name of the bootloader is syslinux, while isolinux is just one
of many components. isolinux.bin now also accepts syslinux.cfg
as a configuration file name (as do all other loaders).
Thus, rename the isolinux/ folder to syslinux/, and rename
isolinux.cfg to syslinux.cfg. The only occurrence of 'isolinux'
is now the actual loader file 'isolinux.bin'. This makes
the transition from isolinux to the other syslinux loaders
easier when remastering the ISO onto another medium.
HDT is a hardware detection/info tool. It will show information about your hardware,
including PCI devices. It will also show the names of the kernel modules that will
support your devices.
First install {base} group, then install rest of packages listed
at in packages file.
In this way, ensure a fully base system installed first,
avoinding errors from install scriptlets of rest of packages.
(currently there is no issue with packages listed on packages files,
but if some add more packages to customize the iso will see errors)

nbd (network block device utilities) package is required.
This package is in AUR at this moment.

Also added dnsmasq pkg, so the live-medium, appart of support booting from PXE
also add the capability to acts as server for PXE & NBD.
This is a dirty script to ilustrate how to launch server:
---- Cut here ----
IP=$1
ISO=$2
ifconfig eth0 ${IP}
dnsmasq \
--enable-tftp \
--tftp-root=/bootmnt/boot \
--dhcp-boot=/pxelinux.0,"${IP}" \
--dhcp-range=${IP%.*}.2,${IP%.*}.254,86400
nbd-server 9040 ${ISO} -r
---- Cut here ----
