big -1 on irssi. if you want to irc, you have networking, and you can `pacman -S <whichever client you want>`. smartmontools.. if you think we have enough space to install these kinds of "misc sysadmin" packages, then fine for me. the others sound like they have a valid reason to be on there.

Then in the same situation we have already elinks, lftp, curl, nmap, and others...

Health of disk is important.

OK, adding linux-atm, mtool, and smartmontools.

hmmm. I don't know, I think irssi goes a step further then those. an irc client is also more personal then a text browser, I think. I would use whichever of lynx/links/elinks/.. is available but if I want to use irc, I rather download the client of my choice. Although I can imagine some people also prefer fetching the textbrowser of their choice. But, a different argument: in how many cases is an irc client needed from an installation cd? Does that justify the added size? Especially if it's just a 'pacman -S' away. Anyway, you're in charge of archiso, do whatever you want :) Dieter

When your ISO is not very recent, pacman -S irssi will fail, pacman -Sy irssi might screw your system, and pacman -Syu irssi will fill your RAM. Why do you -1 this? It is 2.5MB (uncompressed) only and adds no new dependencies.

well, those are some good counter arguments. My main motivation was image size, as we often have core dual images that go well beyond 700MB. Now we are a bit below 700MB, but depending on packaging changes the size sometimes jumps up and down. But like I said in my previous mail, I don't care, Gerardo should do what he feels is best.

Added irssi, should be available in next testbuilds. -- Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi \cos^2\alpha + \sin^2\alpha = 1
