# Thus begins the journey
Today I had an orthodontist appointment and a voice lesson. The appointment was at 15:00 and the voice lesson at 16:00. I got to the orthodontist's office 10 minutes early, was told to right to the back (like always), I sat down in the seat, and the orthodontist came over after a few minutes with another patient. He looked at my teeth, had me put my retainers in, checked how they fit, then said I don't ever need to come back (unless I do need to). That all took about 7 or 8 minutes. My voice lesson was ~5 minutes away so I had an hour to kill. I drove to the college (where the lesson was), went into the computer lab, and booted my [multibootable](http://multibootusb.org/) bootable.
-I went through the distros I had and chose the [i3 spin of Manjaro](https://manjaro.org/category/community-editions/i3/), forgetting that it hadn't written correctly and was corrupt. I went through a couple of other distros that were as well and settled on [Parrot Home](https://www.parrotsec.org/download-home.php). While I love Parrot Home for security reasons, it wasn't what I was looking for. <!-- block --> I started trying to think of a distro that fit all my daily needs that I could take on a flash drive with me wherever I went and . . .

I would boot it, try to install some app I'm missing (Telegram, for instance), find that I need to first update everything then upgrade some packages then have no space left to install Telegram. There isn't one distro I can think of that I wouldn't have to do that with. So I thought I'd try my hand at installing Arch on a flash drive.

-# First steps to rolling your own spin
-#### I *think* I'm going to call it a spin . . .
+ *I **think** I'm going to call it a spin . . .*
1. Install the package `archiso` from the official repos or `archiso-git` from the AUR
2. `$ 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
