Hi,
It's time again for the yearly cleanup of the [community] repository.
Somehow, time passed, and it's now too late for a Christmas Cleanup

Hi all,
I'm proud to announce the April 2010 snapshot of my TalkingArch
CD for blind users. This is more-or-less equivalent to the
netinstall CD, with one major difference. The system provides spoken feedback
as soon as you boot with the disk.
I made some improvements to the project since the

Hi,
According to ldd, the heimdal package in [testing] is still linked
against openssl 0.9.8. This shouldn't be the case, should it?
Scratch that. readelf -d tells me that it does link against
libcrypto.so.1.0.0.
Sorry for the noise!

At first, I thought it was just my problem, because I use the softvol plugin.

I am happy to announce the first release of a modified ArchLinux CD for i686

with one exception: it starts speaking at boot.
One may obtain the image via HTTP or via BitTorrent.

I may have found an issue with the archiso scripts.

Hi list,
I'm new to Arch. The other day, I downloaded the ISO mentioned in the subject

so that I could have spoken feedback during the install. I also
