Hmm, it is really not taking any orders from me as well :-)
Whatsoever, I am still quite unsure, what packages we do need to execute a first ISO. From what I have gathered the following packages are required: 1 aif 2 aufs2 3 aufs2-util 4 base 5 bash 6 coreutils 7 cpio 8 dhcpcd 9 dmraid 10 dnsutils 11 dosfstools 12 elinks 13 file 14 fuse 15 gnu-netcat 16 inetutils 17 kernel26 18 memtest86+ 19 nfs-utils 20 nmap 21 openssh 22 parted 23 vim We should at least provide most of these on our CD as well. Therefor I will start to build some packages of the above list, which do belong on the CD, or are needed for the ArchLinux ISO-Image creation (using Overlays): AIF (do we really need this?) AUFS2 and AUFS2-Utils (these are needed for the CD) Is dmraid, dosfstools really needed? Probably this one could be shifted into the next release? Could we also move fuse, memtest86+, nmap and parted? I think vim would be a real good one to put into the distro as well. Have I forgotten anything, or have I misunderstood anything? What do you think, shadowbranch, since you seem to have made already your first experiences with archiso????!!!
