ArcheOS VirtualBox

[Domenico Giusti]

Don't worry, I understood.
As I said, I'm not a developer, and I also need to study and practice.
I tried, and I remember it was not so simply to build an USB live of
ArcheOS. I will try again and if successfully I could write a wiki. Or
maybe Ricardo could help us :) ?

Ciao
