This is another point that I don't understand the fai's philosophy. The "normal" Debian will cache the downloaded packages. Removing and installing a package again and again won't cause the very package to be downloaded again and again. Why fai behaves this way? Are the package downloaded by fai cached at the official place?
your chroot has absolutely nothing to do with your harddisc installation. :)
Ahhh, yes, silly me.
I didn't UTSL, am I right that the general procedure of grml-live would be
. setup chroot base . download/install all designated packages. . clean up, including removing all download packages then, . make iso
If so, can I suggest an option to bind mount a given apt archive into the chroot? That's what I always been doing when remastering. bind mount apt archive into the chroot, download/install packages, umount the bind mount so that we don't even need to do archive clean up.
Thanks, and for the excellent grml-live BTW.
Great you like it. :)
No I don't like it. I love it, a lot!
cheers
