minus-squaredb2@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up15arrow-down1·6 months agoMaybe build your own iso that doesn’t include the things you won’t use?
minus-squareSéra Balázs@lemmy.worldOPlinkfedilinkarrow-up11·6 months agoYes, but I don’t know how to do that. I might do some research on it tho.
minus-squareProgrammer Belch@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up12·6 months agoI think you could mount the iso and manually delete the packages you dont want. Mounting an iso is as easy as # mount -o loop /path/to/iso /path/to/mountpoint You can also chroot into it while it is mounted: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Chroot Disclaimer, I am not sure if deleting files inside the iso makes it weight less.
minus-squarePoolloverNathan@programming.devlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·edit-26 months agoYou’d likely need to reshrink the partition, then truncate the ISO to fit.
minus-squareSéra Balázs@lemmy.worldOPlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·6 months agoI might try this for the next install, thank you!
minus-squarePowerCore7@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up15·6 months agoJust FYI, Arch Linux has a tool called Archiso that you can use to create live ISO image. You can copy the default releng config and edit the package list accordingly.
minus-squareSéra Balázs@lemmy.worldOPlinkfedilinkarrow-up4·6 months agoThis is another good looking solution!
