+<ul>
+
+ <li>
+ <p>Built from standard <em>Arch Linux</em> packages</p>

+ </li>
+
+ <li>
+ <p>Can also build live USB-sticks</p>
+ </li>
+
+ <li>
+ <p>Can also build from existing <em>Arch</em> installation</p>

+ can also detect LVM volumes (when configured to do so)</p>
+ </li>

+or using ftp to install any desired packages in their latest versions</p>
+ </li>
+

+ </li>
+

+
+ <li>
+ <p>Changes made during a session can be saved back to the boot medium

+ </li>
+
+ <li>
+ <p>Full graphical system possible, e.g. with KDE, OpenOffice, GIMP, ...</p>
+ </li>
+
+ <li>

+monitor/keyboard - remote installation and rescue is also possible</p>
+ </li>
+
+ <li>
+ <p>Copy to RAM possible, using boot parameter ('c2r')</p>
+ </li>
