Description:
Rsync is missing on archi iso image. While booted arch iso allows pretty useful recovery/troubleshooting environment.
Rsync wouldn't take much space but will provide another very useful tool


Additional info:
In my humble opinion rsync with existing ssh/sshd obsoletes rsh/rshd (along with other ancient r* utils/daemons)that are currently present on arch iso boot environment.


Steps to reproduce: N/A
Stumbled upon this limitation while was trying to relocate my existing arch installation to new laptop using instructions from here

Workaround:
Simple copying from existing installation to /usr/bin on booted archiso resolved the problem.
This task depends upon

archboot includes it since ages.

pacman -Sy rsync is not that tough either... but it probably could be included on the CD by default.

Dan,
Just for troubleshooting and recovery purposes when network is not accessable.
