Pierre mentioned additionally: ca-certificates vpnc (used by lots of universities and companies to dial into their network) testdisk (great for data recovery) grub2 screen (maybe) dhclient (dhcpc sometimes fails)

I disagreed with: grub2 (could/would collide with our grub-legacy on ISO or iso building, this could be a goal for next release) testdisk, screen (get it via pacman)

ca-certificates are usefull for some wpa connections (and openssl) vpnc to use some restriced networks to get internet access.

dhclient? It would not be used by aif, so only usefull by hand...

I try to add ca-certificates and vpnc on a test build...

I agree with you. FWIW: aif uses this: dieter@dieter-ws-a7n8x-arch ~ pacman -Qo `which dhcpcd` /sbin/dhcpcd is owned by dhcpcd 5.0.6-1 Maybe there are better tools. this is what the old installer used so i continued with it in aif (and hence it is available as package on the images) Dieter

Ok, i added: netcfg rsync dhclient ca-certificates vpnc

This increase image size by ~1MB, so it is acceptable IMHO.

Gerhard

So, what does dhclient do that dhcpcd can't? Dieter

dhcpcd (in the actual version 5.x) has some problems with crappy routers resp. DHCP-Server on those (the popular FritzBox is often one of them). In this case sometimes a dynamic IP could obtain via dhclient when dhcpcd timed out...

So for AIF we should switch to dhclient? Dieter
