i'm wondering if the install media should contain nothing but the source, a bootstrap loader, a kernel and just enough binaries to be able to compile all the source for whatever arches you're interested in. I recently put together just such a thing for arm. This set of binaries is enough to

I think the most practical thing is to create an iso based on the specific architecture you have, you have to give me the link, the messages I have written does not give me complete information but they are only concepts, I need documntazione I want to build a iso, do not want to create a combo
