I don't really mind 7GB ISO file. What gets my nerve is the default packaging of shit-load of unnecessary apps.


Into an Arch install, and Arch already has an install script. I know it doesn't spit out a usable ultra pretty system. I think it's a good thing the Arch system doesn't require a single whole-drive LUKS configuration, meaning you get to do the thing we talk about as a sort of benchmark in the devops world: setting up Arch with one or a few encrypted volumes. Strange to me to hear me criticizing linux spreading, yet...


They're one and the same? Without the 'default packaging of shit-load of unnecessary apps' you have a 1.4GB Arch image.
