Issue creating custom ISO


I'm following the directions in (https://wiki.artixlinux.org/Main/InstallationUsingBuildiso) but I keep getting this error. Anyone knows what this means?

==> ERROR: Failed to install packages to new root
==> ERROR: A failure occurred in make_rootfs().
   Aborting..

It would help if when you have problems you post the command issued and the full output, or at least more of it.

For the hell of it I just tried to build an iso
Code: [Select]
/artools-workspace                                                                                                                     00:00:10
❯ buildiso -p lxqt

==> Prepare [Base installation] (rootfs)

Is that what you got ?

I searched within ~/artools-workspace for ipw2100-fw
It's in ~/artools-workspace/iso-profiles/common/Packages-base

So I commented the the two relevant lines
Code: [Select]
iptables
#ipw2100-fw
#ipw2200-fw
jfsutils
as those packages do not exist in the Artix repos
Code: [Select]
❯ pacman -Si ipw2100-fw
error: package 'ipw2100-fw' was not found

~/Files                                                                                                                                 00:05:44
❯ pacman -Si ipw2200-fw
error: package 'ipw2200-fw' was not found
After this change the iso was built successfully after I issued the command again.

If haven't tested the actual iso's

Also the wiki page mentions

Inside base and lxqt there are live-overlay and desktop-overlay subfolders;
That's wrong it seems. I have live-overlay and root-overlay. I guess substitute desktop-overlay with root-overlay while following the instructions ?
