I wrote that last week, figuring it might be of use to someone, it's how I've installed arch on my computer. Could be done from a liveCD too

aww, I 'd have done this if I knew how to. Thanks, even though it comes about a month too late for me

I wish all the packages in /var/abs/base were part of a group "base" because then:
pacman.static -S bash -r /newarch
pacman.static -S pacman -r /newarch
pacman.static -S filesystem -r /newarch
pacman.static -S `cat packages` -r /newarch
pacman.static -S kernel26 -r /newarch
would simply become:
pacman.static -S base -r /newarch
pacman.static -S kernel26 -r /newarch
You wanna suggest that to the rest of the team, iphitus?

Sounds like a good idea... and it should be easy to do... right?

Just a matter of adding groups=('base') to the PKGBUILDs. All the packages would have to be rebuilt to make it effective, though.

oh, well, an idea for arch 0.8, then?

I've brought it up with the rest of the devs, I'll see what happens

Well, that's exactly why I wrote this script. It extracts the "base" packages the same way that quickinst do, it can be used in command line as well (packages.txt resides in the same directory as pacman.pkg.tar.gz )
cat "packages.txt" | grep "^base/" | cut -d "/" -f "2"
Excessive showering, grooming, and toothbrushing is not only vain, it wastes valuable coding time.
