Re: offline install(01.03.2013)

You would need to download the packages directly from an repository using wget or something and copy them to your /var/cache/pacman/pkg

Use archiso to personalize your iso.

warning: This thread will likely get you comments like "arch is rolling release, if you don't have continual internet access, you are in the wrong place" or similar. I have one machine with arch that most of the time is offline and every once every few months I connect it to the net to update it, and is not really difficult or anything (as long you comply with the requirement of being a competent linux user)

My guess is such comments come from people who is addicted to do pacman -Syu every five minutes

"open source is about choice"
No.
Open source is about opening the source code complying with this conditions, period. The ability to choose among several packages is just a nice side effect.
