Hi,
I wish the following packages were included on the Live CD: htop
Not necessary, but as you pointed out, also quite small.
iotop
Sadly, as mentioned below, python adds >100MB to the environment (uncompressed), which we cannot afford. The current core-dual image is 673MB, and we'd like to keep that below 700MB for compatibility with CDs. Although, we could make the point that 1) You can burn the image onto a DVD, which is not much more expensive than a CD nowadays. 2) Most people will put it on USB anyway. So the 700MB limit could possibly be dropped - what is everyone's opinion on that?
gptfdisk
Someone posted on this list that he is working on GPT support in AIF. This would require a decent gpt partition manager. Even without AIF support, this might be useful for people to set GPT up manually. In general, I'd give this a big +1, but I don't know the tools, so I have no idea if gptfdisk is the best choice.
nethack
Although small, this seems superfluous.
And possibly even: diakonos (from AUR)
We will only include packages that are in the repositories. I don't know diakonos, but I was always planning to re-add 'joe' to extra, so we can put it on the ISO again :)
Tucos on IRC told me "Pozzi, the archiso guy" was the one to ask regarding wishes for new packages on the CD. (Via this mailing list, if I did not misunderstand him completely).
This is correct. Gerardo and Dieter mostly decide what happens to the images, although I try to steer the in the right direction when I feel the need to.
