Changing the Installed Software
BDisk comes with a large list of software installed in the build instance by default, ranging from data recovery (such as foremost, scalpel, ddrescue, etc.), security and data wiping (nwipe, scrub, etc.), penetration testing (wifite, aircrack-ng, etc.) and a slew of others. Seriously, if you’re looking for a tool, changes are it’s on it.
However, this leads to a fairly long build time- even with a local repository mirror (many of the packages are from the AUR). You may want to replace the list with a smaller subset.
The iso.pkgs.* files are not files you should modify- they contain software necessary to the building of BDisk and are the basic necessary files to build a bootable image. However, the packages.* files are where you would add or remove software to be installed.

The package lists can contain both Arch repository packages and AUR packages. |
