Hi Chris, What conflicts are you having problems with? mkarchiso install packages without any interaction for the most part. MrG On 19/05/12 06:35, arch-releng-request@archlinux.org wrote:

Hi,

I am trying to build an iso that includes LTS kernel at the moment I can add linux-lts to package list. Need a clean way to remove linux [kernel]. Thinking along the lines of adding a 'pacman -R' to mkarchiso, possibly adding something like _pacman () maybe _pacman_remove().

Not sure it will be a possible patch as it may be of any other use to anyone.

Ideas are easy creating them is a different story I had a similar problem... Just created an iso with systemd. I added this to my build script:

mkarchiso ${verbose} -w "${work_dir}" -D "${install_dir}" \ -r "pacman -R --noconfirm sysvinit initscripts" run

However I would like to have a clean solution...

Is there any way to make pacman install packages and remove conflicts in a non interactive way in one run?
