+# Archlinux Live with Bcachefs
+
+The scripts in this repo can be used to obtain an `Arch Linux`
+live/install/rescue ISO. This is realized through
+[Archiso](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Archiso) with some
+hacks to make it use the `linux-bcachefs-git` [from the
+AUR](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/linux-bcachefs-git/).
+
+The whole thing is currently in a *works for me* kind of state.
+
+## Usage
+I recommend that you at least skim the scripts in this repo to understand what is happening, because they require `root` access. You can either build the iso directly on arch, or use docker to provide an arch environment.
+
+* The script will build the linux bcachefs kernel from the AUR and you
+     set the architecture to build the kernel interactively, whenever
+     the prompt comes up. I will add a variable to the `make_iso.sh`
+     script when I come around to it...
+* In the end, the ISO can be found under `archlive/out`
+
+### On Arch Linux
+ * make sure you have the following installed: `archiso sudo git base-devel bash`
+   <!-- * or set the `KERNEL_ARCH` variable in the `make_iso.sh` script -->
+ * run `./make_iso.sh` and get a cup of whatever hot beverage you favor
+
+
+### Through Docker
+> I have not tested this yet.
+
+ * make sure you have `docker` installed
+ * run `./docker-setup.sh`
+   * This will create an ephemeral, **privileged** docker container to
+     provide an arch environment and run `./make_iso.sh`
