Hello folks
I was wondering if there is a way to rebuild a custom live disc, using archiso, without having to download all the packages over again.
The problem is that after making a few changes to the configuration, mainly inside root-image directory, i want to rebuild the iso.
But, running build.sh says that everything is up-to-date. Alternatively, i tried removing the root squashfs file, and ran build.sh again. But, it started downloading ~500MB of packages all over again :(
I'll probably have to do some more fine tuning before finalising the iso, and i don't want this to repeat itself.
Please help.

I don't know how to rebuild the ISO, but for the meantime, you could back up your /var/cache/pacman/pkg dir, since that is where your packages are stored. I hope that helps from not having to redownload 500 MB again.
