 ===== 170429 ArchAnywhere attempts =====
+Attempts to build live ISO using systems installed with ArchAnywhere and Revenge
+=== Session 2017-4-29 (J Nash, S. Murphy, Bruce Davis) ===
+Renewed attempt with archanywhere-dual:
+<code>
+First ran archanywhere installer using the following options:
+  Two tries, as first did not give a working graphical interface after
+  an install to USB. This records the second try.
+      xfce system (NOT archanywhere xfce, which appears incomplete)
+      added xfce goodies from wiki
+      Choices:
+    		dev-version
+		syslinux
+		netctl
+		wifi
+		no multiboot
+		touchpad
+		gdm
+		Add 32 bit apps support
+		DHCP
+	Set root pw = rootpw, user pw for "user" = userpw
+        GUI pacman pac-aur chosen
+	audio group: pavucontrol
+	graphics group: feh, imagemagick
+</code>
+==== Attempt to remaster ====
+The VBox system then seemed to work OK.  Now need to remaster.
+	sudo pacman -S archiso
+	Chose releng profile for custom install.
+Then had a difficulty with the screen not being available to root.
+	sudo su -
+        mkdir archlive
+	cp -r /usr/share/archiso/configs/releng/archlive/
+	cd archlive
+BUT cannot edit packages because screen ownership is with "user" not "root".
+Back out. Before "sudo su -" run
+        xhost +
+This is potentially dangerous, since anyone then has access.
+	sudo su -
+	export DISPLAY=:0
+We managed to make an iso following the instructions
+https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Archiso
+and this did boot, but did not have all features desired.
+In our running arch system, we could install and run alsaplayer. However
+settings to adjust the screen did not work properly. We could not get
+xfce4-panel to work after it apparently installed succcessfully.
+The "settings" and "display settings" buttons/links still not active.
