Why not just copy the old kernel image, modules and initrd image somewhere
by hand before you upgrade kernels. If we try to make this automated it
isn't going to be kiss. I used to do this way back in the day by including
the entire kernel version in the pkgver and giving the images longer names.

I've done the ill fated -Syu right before a project deadline. Something in

Never update when facing a deadline.
Yes, it's all placebo effect. What seems like faster transfers is really the

the data and filesystem in inconsistent states if the device were

Yes. My current desktop does this. It was very simple, just requiring that I
run grub-install on /dev/md0 and then adding insmod lvm and mdraid to
grub.cfg. You also must ensure that you have a partition that is flagged

Keeping old versions of libs would violate Arch's policy of being bleeding

Let us all remember that Arch Linux is not a for-profit company out to make

making a license claim against Arch Linux would simply ask us to remove the

I always liked the Arch installer from the 0.7 days. I used to be able to
