I am also curious about what changes 5.0.1 has? I
am treading very tenderly with ArcaOS now, and I am
waiting for the installer to allow installation in a
500 MB partition, so at least I can 'easily' test
things out. If the distribution was also available on
CDR, that would also be a huge step in usability.
I was on the Arca WWW site the other day, and I
noticed that they had several fixes, as well as the
updated ArcaOS. So, I downloaded all the WPI files,
and tried installing the fixes. As expected, the
updated kernel wouldn't go on my eCS system, but the
other fixes did.

5.0.1 mostly has installer fixes, better at figuring out your hardware.
I doubt that there is ever going to be a version that installs on 500MB, it was hard enough convincing them to lower it
to the current level. As for a CDR version, it's not that hard to remove various stuff that you don't need, but does
mean creating a new ISO and being familiar with the DVD's organization.
As for the newer packages, my guess is that the kernel is only licensed for ArcaOS. For ACPI, you should be able to
reinstall the older WPI or restore from backup

The information on the Arca Noae website explicitly states that the kernel update is only licensed for ArcaOS. It goes
on to caution that acpi3.23.06 must be installed first.
I am also curious about what changes 5.0.1 has?
