Re: [SOLVED] archiso pacman wanting -Sy

I have built the iso and was testing it in a virtualbox.
I guess the goal would be to be able to install it and use it as my arch linux system.
But if I had my own iso configured the way I wanted to it would save me from doing all the config setups over and over.

Ie. https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Moving … al_machine ?
This doesn't relate on archiso at all.

@Evil Wiki Admin, thanks for the heads up.

Re: [SOLVED] archiso pacman wanting -Sy

@Lone_Wolf, why would you update a live environment in the first place, building a new ISO takes a few minutes, of course...depending whats on it, but mostly

I was helping someone to troubleshoot a badly broken windows system and brought an usb stick with the latest iso (but not my laptop).
The only other systems present were smartphones.

Using ncdu helped a lot with identifying which data needed to removed to make the remaining data fit on thier largets usb storage.
ncdu is not on the iso so I added it to the live environment.

Re: [SOLVED] archiso pacman wanting -Sy

@Lone_Wolf, ah now I understand, you were adding a package to the live environment not updating the whole environment, makes sense
