Ahhh, yes, silly me. I didn't UTSL, am I right that the general procedure of grml-live would be . setup chroot base . download/install all designated packages. . clean up, including removing all download packages then, . make iso If so, can I suggest an option to bind mount a given apt archive into the chroot? That's what I always been doing when remastering. bind mount apt archive into the chroot, download/install packages, umount the bind mount so that we don't even need to do archive clean up. >> Thanks, and for the excellent grml-live BTW. > > Great you like it. :) No I don't like it.
