I think it'd be good to have this too, especially for the command line version of parabola. When I remastered the Debian iso, I used a local repository to install the additional packages from. I'm pretty sure it's possible to (using a pacman config, or command line option) specify a local directory to serve as the repository.

I'm not sure if you can spread pacman repositories across DVD mediums though, as I am not as familiar with parabola/arch linux in general. If it is possible, perhaps in future parabola could also be released as a series of DVDs containing the binary packages.

what i was trying to describe was that the rsync method would be a
replacement for `pacstrap /mnt base`, that depends on internet
connection, nothing more than that :)
