We can try porting archiso to union-mounts soon and see how that works out. Interesting. I never experimented with this, only read the documentation. We need a patched util-linux-ng. (I guess the patch for e2fsprogs is not needed because writable branch will be tmpfs in our case).
One reason not to do it until it is accepted upstream.
another workaround can be in Makefile
- mkarchiso -p base create $(WORKDIR) + mkarchiso -p $(shell pacman -Sgq base | grep -v ^kernel26$) create $(WORKDIR) If we do not insist on using the base group, why not? Sorry, I did not understand this. Could you put it another way?
Are you saying that do not "force" in install all the base packages, only a selection?
There shouldn't be a difference, it's just more code to do this instead of installing base.
Then the easiest thing to do is move all files to archlinux/ (including isomounts) and set archisobasedir=archlinux/.
So the medium, by default created by archiso will look like:
/ /boot/ /archlinux/ isomounts *.sqfs
and by archiso2dual:
/ /boot/ /archlinux/ isomounts* /archlinux/any/ *.sqfs /archlinux/i686/ *.sqfs /archlinux/x86_64/ *.sqfs
No, /boot moves to /archlinux/boot as well. The only directory in the root of the file system would be /archlinux.
