[Solved]Trouble installing Artix S6 -- Xfce

UPDATE:  I rewrote the iso to the usb drive, (as per the Arch Wiki, which I should read more thoroughly), and now the live OS boots as it should!

I usually use the weekly build when installing Artix, but as there seem to be no S6 weekly builds available (I am curious why), I downloaded the latest stable Artix S6 -- Xfce.

I used dd to write the iso to a usb drive as usual.
When I try to boot, it arrives at the pre-boot screen and I select "From Stick/HDD: artix.x86_64".
Then the following appears on the screen:
Code: [Select]
[    1.72912]  Initramfs unpacking failed: XZ-compressed data is corrupt
:: running early hook [udev]
:: running hook [udev]
:: Triggering uevents...

   Falling back to interactive prompt
   You can try to fix the problem manually,  log out when you are finished
sh: can't access tty; job control turned off

The lines above were manually transcribed and may contain errors.

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,

Thanks for pointing out that there aren't any weekly s6 isos for some reason. I don't think that was intended.

Do you know when weekly isos for s6 will be available for download?
(The stable iso I installed promptly failed during an update and will not boot. :/)

Not sure, but you can install any init from any iso.
