I want the form of difference "base" - "noinstall". Is easy way to 
maintain, since there is no need to add/remove packages to the list when 
there is a change in base group.

For example:
BASE=$(comm -2 -3 <(pacman -Sgq base | sort) <(for x in $NOINST;do echo 
$x;done | sort))

OK, Of course! I was forgetting that at the time of the creation of the 
iso, you specify the path of the syslinux, hehe :)
