Remastered ISO didn't work properly
I have installed Arch Linux yesterday and I falled in love with him 
I tried to remaster Arch so I installed some packages and my modifications, but packages works only in livecd mode. When I installed my ISO, all my mods and packages dissapeared...
Why?!
I know I can add additional repo with my packages but I'd like have installed packages and modified files out of the box...

Re: Remastered ISO didn't work properly
It would be nice if you told us how exactly did you remaster it.

Not sure if I get it. Did you change the official Arch ISO?
You need to point pacman to where the packages you want to install are - whether the CD, USB or some mirror on the Internet.

Re: Remastered ISO didn't work properly
I remastered official Arch ISO. When I chrooted root-image I installed packages etc. I built the ISO, but my changes works only in livecd. When I installed my remastered Arch, all my changes gone.
And /var/cache/pacman/pkg/ is empty and there are no any traces of my modifications.

Re: Remastered ISO didn't work properly
In the installation process you tell pacman where are the packages you want - did you pick some mirror or the CD?

Re: Remastered ISO didn't work properly
Is much more easy to start from-zero than remaster...
Anyway if you only used root-image.fs, you missed /usr/share that is on usr-share.fs.sfs.
