syslinux's KERNEL command tries to autodetect the type of the kernel
by looking at the file's extension. This is unsafe, use the explicit
versions instead:
LINUX - for Linux kernels (memtest is booted like a Linux kernel, too)
COM32 - for COM32 modules
COMBOOT - for comboot modules (only poweroff.com right now)
See http://syslinux.zytor.com/wiki/index.php/SYSLINUX#KERNEL_file
Newer nbd-server uses config file instead of parameters via cmd line (deprecated).
Also does not use a fixed port (oldstyle).
Sample nbd-server.conf that works with this change:
-- CUT HERE --
[generic]
[archiso]
readonly = true
exportname = /tmp/archlinux.iso
-- CUT HERE --

Some modern HDD come with agressive APM settings by default,
not only "green ready" drive also "high end" drives.
Adding hdparm so users can change/disable hdd settings (mostly -B -S -M).

The name of the bootloader is syslinux, while isolinux is just one
of many components. isolinux.bin now also accepts syslinux.cfg
as a configuration file name (as do all other loaders).
Thus, rename the isolinux/ folder to syslinux/, and rename
isolinux.cfg to syslinux.cfg. The only occurrence of 'isolinux'
is now the actual loader file 'isolinux.bin'. This makes
the transition from isolinux to the other syslinux loaders
easier when remastering the ISO onto another medium.
HDT is a hardware detection/info tool. It will show information about your hardware,
including PCI devices. It will also show the names of the kernel modules that will
support your devices.
* squashfs images that will be part of read-only branchs for union mount in /
are mounted on /ro_branch/{image_name} instead of /tmpfs/mnt/{image_name}
(and avoid empty dirs on live env under /mnt)
* tmpfs that will be part of read-write branch for union mount in /
is mounted on /rw_branch instead of /tmpfs
* tmpfs that is for store *.sqfs images when copytoram=y, is mounted on
/copytoram instead of /tmpfs.sqfs

* tmpfs_sqfs_size= parameter renamed to copytoram_size=

More generic way than current method, and fix if logic (inverted).
Takes the same actions independent of medium (disk/cdrom).

Currently works partially since in bash "*" is not expanded.
Old dirs removed, always empty dirs removed from list.
Also cleanup sync databases from pacman 3.4.0, avoiding problems with
pacman -Sy since "sync" directory is deleted.

First install {base} group, then install rest of packages listed
at in packages file.
In this way, ensure a fully base system installed first,
avoinding errors from install scriptlets of rest of packages.
(currently there is no issue with packages listed on packages files,
but if some add more packages to customize the iso will see errors)

Create loop0 on /lib/udev/devices so udev copy to /dev on startup.

When remastering the image onto a USB volume, you might want to reuse
an existing partition without filling the root with lots of archiso
files. The archisobasedir parameter allows to specify a new root
directory, isomounts and all images will be searched in this directory.
The archiso_pxe_nbd hook adds all network modules, including ones that
are not supported: The hook only supports ethernet devices, so there
is no need to add wireless, wimax, ppp, irda and plip modules.
Adding the wireless modules had an undesired side effect: The
wireless driver was loaded in the initramfs stage, where the
required crypto modules were unavailable. This caused the
initialization of the wireless devices to fail.
This patch removes all network modules except ethernet.
dialog is no longer in the base group, but it needs to be included on

Notable changes:
* -R option added. Used to specify a file with a list of files or directories
to remove from root-image.sqfs. This option only works with -T full.
A list of files/directories that will be removed is printed.
* -T purge_us profile removed, now is managed via -R option.
* Profiles looks now:
-T <profile> Type of target image (work is done on root-image.sqfs):
basic: join both images, no changes in root-image
split: 'basic' + split out usr/share/ and lib/modules/ from root-image
full: 'split' + remove specified directories (with -R) from root-image
* Code is now a bit small made by some refactions.

To avoid confusion, since we always like to split these both directories
(/usr/share and /lib/modules).
