purge_single command can be usefull to save space during build. It removes
all files in working directory except "iso/" and *.iso.
Workflow can be:
(32) ./build.sh all_iso_single -> i686 *.iso are ready.
(32) ./build.sh purge_single -> safe cleanup.
(64) ./build.sh all_iso_single -> x86_64 *.iso are ready.
(64) ./build.sh purge_single -> safe cleanup.
(any) ./build.sh all_iso_dual -> dual *.iso are ready.

Avoid the message: "umount aufs failed: not found" at shutdown.
#1 mount -t tmpfs none /something
#2 mount -t tmpfs xxxx /something

Add two parameters:
img_dev=/dev/sdNM
where /dev/sdNM is the device where .iso is located.
img_loop=/path/to/arch.iso
where /path/to/arch.iso is the full path of the .iso in the device img_dev.

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

syslinux's KERNEL command tries to autodetect the type of the kernel
by looking at the file's extension. This is unsafe, use the explicit
versions instead:
LINUX - for Linux kernels (memtest is booted like a Linux kernel, too)
COM32 - for COM32 modules
COMBOOT - for comboot modules (only poweroff.com right now)
See http://syslinux.zytor.com/wiki/index.php/SYSLINUX#KERNEL_file

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

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:

Takes the advantage of already symlinks created on /dev/disk/by-label/ by
60-persistent-storage.rules add by udev hook.
Tested on:
* Real machine as CD-ROM and USB key drive.
* KVM as CD-ROM and DISK (for both modes, in combination with IDE and SCSI)
* VirtualBox as IDE CD-ROM.
IMPORTANT note: Since isohybrid is a hack, if more partitions are added to
USB key drive, filesystem on these partitions MUST have LABEL, otherwise
USB key will fail to boot. Anyway there is an option archisodevice=,
to force and specific device where live-media reside.
(Maybe isohybrid will change the hack method used in a future)
