## General ##

-include WinMTR, build Mac OS X MTR for dist/tools on CD
-include pre-compiled DoxBox for opening LUKS parts on Windows (https://github.com/t-d-k/doxbox)


## NETWORKING ##

-shorewall/some other firewall?
-WISH: locked-down VPN?
-autodetection/configuration of network. DHCP is currently running by default, but does it need to support IPv6? if so, how would the user configure their network?
-WISH: support iPXE? would save on ISO file size (letting us create MUCH bigger squash systems), but the downside is we lose EFI support and it requires a working network configuration- which defeats the purpose of a diagnostic disc.


## Building ##

-WISH: Better logging[0]
-use manual chrooting functions ONLY if distro not detected as arch. if /usr/bin/systemd-nspawn exists, use that instead
--does arch-chroot work across all distros? see https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Install_bundled_32-bit_system_in_Arch64 and https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Chroot
--i think this might be unnecessary. testing across other major distros is necessary, but i think i can just use the chroot'd arch-chroot
-tweak build.conf (and build.conf.sample) to source the pwd and set as BASEDIR ***if*** the project resources are present in pwd, otherwise throw warning
--this is half-done;PWD is currently used by default.
-does gummiboot? loader? wtfever it's called support splash backgrounds? can i implement that differently somehow?
-Host-specific chroot customizations (i.e. -J in <chroot>/etc/makepkg.conf
-strip out/remove unnecessary and orphan packages (e.g. gcc, make, automake, etc.)

adding notes trying to fix niceness... trying to fix speed optimizations... we should probably remove .pacnew files in the ISO. every little byte helps :/ 2014-12-20 12:41:14 -05:00			`-include pre-compiled DoxBox for opening LUKS parts on Windows (https://github.com/t-d-k/doxbox)`
