I'm more looking for the base itself, then I'll check the additional features. I found this thread which is very interesting, but it's more the next step: once you have the base, what do add. In r/unixporn, people post their dotfiles, but I couldn't find a place where people would post their initial packages list. but, I have to manually start the daemon. I have put xscreensaver -no-splash & in my /.xinitrc before wm starts. But as a beginner, it's very difficult to find the "right" packages or package groups to install. Pages: 1 1 14:27:56 mcrae Member From: Brunswick, GA Registered: Posts: 88 hope this is the place to post this I have tried putting xscreensaver in my daemon list in rc.conf. Of course, the definition of a minimal package list is very subjective and in the end, it's something of a personal taste, so I'm not looking for THE answer. Here is the list of packages installed by Antergos base in addition to arch base and base-devel:Īnd here is the difference between Antergos base and Antergos i3: Of course I need X11, but what xorg/xf86 packages do I need?. Are alsa-utils and pulseaudio redundant?.Do I need bind-tools? No idea what it does.I have a Nvidia card and want to use CUDA, so I don't need mesa, but I need the nvidia proprietary drivers.I don't need a cd/dvd burner, so I can remove xfburn.I don't want i3, so I can get rid of i3* packages.Sometimes, things are pretty straightforward: Then, I compared the list of packages and try to find out which packages I want installed. The idea is to have some sort of system backup to be able to restart from a clean install in case I break something.Īnyway, what I did is that I installed Arch, Antergos base and Antergos i3 on a virtual machine, then I used pacman -Qe to list the installed packages for each distribution (Arch base + base-devel / Antergos base / Antergos i3). My ultimate objective is to build my own distribution with archiso so I can install everything from scratch, tuned for my needs and without bloatware, with a single click (or more likely a single script execution). I install Arch on a desktop computer, so I don't need power management tools like acpid (or do I?), nor Wifi or Bluetooth packages (which I don't have). Now I would like to install a working BSPWM window manager, but I want to keep my package list small and clean. I just installed base and base-devel packages and everything seems to work. So I've made my first manual installation of Arch :-) (I can now say I use Arch btw) !
