[arch-general] Install Scripts
I just looked over the install script wiki page, and was curious if there was any plan on adding something similiar to AIF where you could browse the avalible packages, I know for me at least during install I may know what i need to install but don't think about it until i read it.
Why don't you want to use `pacman -Ss` for a list of available packages? 2012/7/22 Nicholas MIller <nick.kyky@gmail.com>

Since I've yet to try the "new" method of installing, I suppose i could, however i was under the impression pacman -Ss required an arguement for what you are searching for.
I usually remove acouple things from base such as Nano and wpa_supplicant ( desktop is hardwired) which with aif was quite simple since it showed you everything.

You can actually run pacman -S base -r /path/to/your/root then hit n when is asking if you want to install all the packages from the group and select exactly what you want. is simple.

is simple.
When I finally get around to switching my last system to arch I'll be sure to give it a try. Thanks for the input
