DetailsDescription:
I didn't find information on how iso is mounted so I can't point the way to the solution ubuntu minimal iso is 90mb, archlinux is a lighter system is 700mb (approximate values) I thought something like this could be done (just the boot, with the minimum possible files) when completing the boot network support (wifi or ethernet) would be loaded, then mirrorlist and pacman -Syu will automatically run and from there everything would be downloaded from the server similar to what happens today in the current installation and also in ubuntu minimal As the system is excellent for over 5 years I do not need to reinstall and update every week, but for beginners would be very helpful the possibility of using installation scripts I thought netboot (pxe) would be what I needed but on the virtual machine at least I couldn't boot (in this case it was certainly my lack of experience) https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD 64-bit PC (amd64, x86_64) 64MB http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/bionic/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/mini.iso Additional info: * package version(s) * config and/or log files etc. * link to upstream bug report, if any Steps to reproduce: |
