I have no idea how easy it is to implement, but it would be nice if the iso
was able to boot from cd and usb. This way there would be no need in providing
separate img files just for booting from usb.

I'll try and get netcfg 2.1 done for it.

Yep, I have some fixes accumulated and am still testing time stuff to
make sure I didn't miss anything.

I think it is not possible.

It should be. At least grml can be booted via cd or usb. See

Yeah, that looks easy...did you see the 10 step process? It is either
that or borrow their grml2usb script, but it seems just as easy for
people to use the IMG otherwise we go right back to what we had
before, which was this exact same pain in the ass, multiple step
process.

One other thing that'd be worth fixing is the pacman cache location. I
don't know if this was a bug report or not, but currently pacman
caches packages to the ramfs system, and not the host system.

Hm, I think it was OK in my case, though it asked me about the cache two times.
