All comments are welcomed. Good luck!
I say go for core-dual + netinstall-dual. It makes most sense to me and would be awesome for what I usually use it for (jumpstart some old computers that could do i686 at best but also install x86_64 on my machines). We would be able to cut the netinstall-dual under 200M with kernel 2.6.34 as we'll get squashfs lzma support. I'd also like to say that somehow I'm not comfortable with your archiso2dual script. It is a whole mkarchiso script which violates my mind model of Don't-Repeat-Yourself. Any chance this could just be a shell script called by the Makefile? That way, it would be config specific (as it should) instead of being available system wide. Good work with the TODO and the ISOs :). -- Sven-Hendrik
