Wow! Now it makes sense… All I have to do is have my pkglist accessible to liveuser, rename it to user_pkglist.txt - then run the install normally… That really is quite a feature!

We have some plans for making this feature even better, but that’s for the future ISO…

freebird54 · August 30, 2021, 12:33pm

Well - we have to have SOMETHING we haven’t done yet. It’s getting hard to think of things not yet done!

manuel · August 30, 2021, 12:37pm

There’s always room for improvement!

And of course, everyone is free to speak about or help with new ideas for improvement.

Congrats! EndeavourOS just keeps on getting better and better with each new release. Kudos to everyone who works so hard to deliver such an awesome distro.

Ahh, yeah Glances is a good one as well. Better then htop IMO.

Sojiro84 · August 30, 2021, 8:37pm

Indeed, this will be very helpful for me!

You tell me

manuel · August 30, 2021, 8:55pm

Ummm… what?

ricklinux · August 30, 2021, 8:57pm

We have some plans for making this feature even better, but that’s for the future ISO…

You know…

manuel · August 30, 2021, 9:01pm

So far these are mostly certain ideas, but we haven’t decided yet which improvements to implement. Too experimental at this stage…

ricklinux · August 30, 2021, 9:07pm

I’m just joking with you. “You can tell me” I I won’t say a word!

Beautiful job, everyone! Installed and is working like greased lightning! LOL Seriously; it’s incredible!

vmclark · August 30, 2021, 11:56pm

I did the exact same thing. Removed Manjaro. It’s bloated. Was bloated. Its gone now. I do like the idea of the minimal approach.

I had only ever installed the minimal ISO, but even that is still overloaded.
