bdisk/TODO

## 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.
-SECURE SSH: https://stribika.github.io/2015/01/04/secure-secure-shell.html


## 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.)

[0] I'd really like to implement the following in build.conf; like:

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)`
