Removed mirrorlist file from overlay and modified Makefile to fetch the file dynamically on iso creation (Thanks, Dan!)
What if we also had an option to fetch it at runtime of the ISO as well?
Hmm, in the live-cd environment this is possible with pacman -S pacman-mirrorlist (ok, you get *.pacnew and must activate/deactivate mirrors by hand....). But maybe we make a wrapper script for do that: wget the actual mirrorlist file, make via sed all mirrors active. IMHO we could not do that automatically cause we don't know when network is set up. This is a nice thought maybe for the installer. aif could possible do that when the user select the net-install source (ftp/http)....
