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.
