I find this a little confusing; do you mean to say that initscripts is not *installed* on the live system but available on it as a *package*? -- Gaetan

If I understand correctly, install medium uses systemd to boot itself, but target system is installed with initscripts. -- Bartłomiej Piotrowski Arch Linux Trusted User http://archlinux.org/

That's very well but entirely misses my point of asking to clarify whether initscripts is still available as a *package* on the live medium, or if it is "no longer available on the live system". -- Gaetan

The live medium does not contain any packages.

So there are no offline installs? I must have missed something. -- Gaetan

I think that's what was agreed when we started making isos again.
I must have missed something.
I could not find this in any announcement, but it is in the installation guide. Tom
