Thanks for your interest. Some comments: 3 files are needed for a boot with Darch. 1. ```vmlinux``` 2. ```initrd``` (with custom initramfs scripts) 3. ```rootfs.squash``` The ```darch_rootfs``` parameter is used...

Great! Keep me updated.

That's a good question. I envisioned hooks being used to "localized" (machine name, static ip, etc) a generic image to a specific machine. Would you use hooks similarly? Where would...

This sounds like it might be similar to that other issue. Here are my mounts. ``` UUID=5DD7-D4DC /boot/efi vfat rw,relatime,fmask=0022,dmask=0022,codepage=437,iocharset=iso8859-1,shortname=mixed,errors=remount-ro 0 2 UUID=ee69ed43-b54f-4a2e-83a5-7cd9b67d394c /etc/darch ext4 rw,relatime 0 2 UUID=4819fb13-c364-4d23-821e-1d58963286f1 /var/lib/darch...

Is it possible to mount a snapshot as a file system?

IMO, it's best to have ```/var/lib/darch``` be a different partition. I also configure containerd to use everything in that partition. See [here](https://github.com/pauldotknopf/darch-recipes/blob/master/recipes/base/script#L26).

Yup. I am using ```containerd```, and their ```ctr``` command has a nice progress indicator. It should be just a matter of copy/paste. https://github.com/containerd/containerd/blob/master/cmd/ctr/commands/content/fetch.go

Sorry for the delay, I'm responding now, give me a sec.

Ah, yes, the ```makepkg``` issue. They added that after Darch was built, which annoys the shit out of me. When I was doing Arch builds, I had to run a...
