Possible to make a installation script with packages i want?

Possible to make a installation script with packages i want as standard
for example if i would like to have lxde or xfce as standard firefox, virtualbox etc?

Maybe allreade there is a file in installation media that i can alter?

Re: Possible to make a installation script with packages i want?

correct me if im wrong, but i need to install first then run that script? i was looking for a way to include it on the bootable cd/dvd so it installs automaticly
standard packages that i had selected,, but maybe thats how it works and i misunderstod

My goal ofc is:

Install linux with xfce or lxde as standard and slim and with firefox and virtualbox and ofc thunderbird for email.

so if its not possible to have it in a installation script or something on cd, maybe someone can direct me to a -how-to- install xfce etc from scratch as i dont know much about this

I'd like to remind you that Arch is a rolling release distro, so even though you can have some packages on the CD, they will get outdated relatively fast. Is there a reason why you can't install them with pacman after you do the basic setup (networking etc.)?

karol: problem is sometimes i need to install on an system that is offline with no internet connection so for me i dont need latest packages just a working
installation from scratch

Archiso seems like a great way to go thanx!
