minus-squaredb2@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·6 months agoMaybe build your own iso that doesn’t include the things you won’t use?
minus-squareSéra Balázs@lemmy.worldOPlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·6 months agoYes, but I don’t know how to do that. I might do some research on it tho.
minus-squareProgrammer Belch@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·6 months agoI think you could mount the iso and manually delete the packages you dont want. Mounting an iso is as easy as # mount -o loop /path/to/iso /path/to/mountpoint You can also chroot into it while it is mounted: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Chroot Disclaimer, I am not sure if deleting files inside the iso makes it weight less.
