~/Alci-Iso-Pure-Out

When testing out the ALCI in virtualbox, you can use the alias evb to enable and start virtualbox. As a result you can use your full resolution.
When using gdm as display manager remember to delete the file /archiso/airootfs/etc/motd from your system. That files comes originally from Arch Linux. To avoid waiting for every login and this nice look. https://imgur.com/a/EvCN4pm
