*I **think** I'm going to call it a spin . . .*
* Install the package `archiso` from the official repos or `archiso-git`
from the AUR
* `$ mkdir ~/<build-directory>`
* Replace `<build-directory>` with wherever you want the iso build
to be stored. This is where we'll be spending all of our time
configuring. Mine is at `~/liveiso/` and that's the path I'll be
using in this and future posts
* `$ sudo cp -r /usr/share/archiso/configs/releng/ ~/liveiso`
* Edit `~/liveiso/packages.x86_64` to install desired software
* This will be addressed in the next post, `packages.x86_64`, where
I also give some quick ways to install everything you might want.
