Argh, SystemRescueCD ditched their Gentoo base for Arch linux and regressed on some things I really liked in the process, like the FAT32-based USB install and the default zsh with a nice config :(

Arch has neve really been kind to your diskspace. The base group contains a lot of things you might not need, and we don't split out documentation and headers. A bit unsure what Gentoo does there.
Docs are optional in Gentoo, but headers aren't. The system set doesn't have too much junk, though. The Gentoo stage3 is ~250MB compressed (with multilib, i.e. 64+32 bit) or ~210MB 64-bit only. That's your base system rootfs.

Neat. We are discussing trimming the base group along with considering zstd as default compression for packages.

Cool! FWIW I like and use Arch, and I don't think there's any inherent reason why it would be bad for SystemReacueCD; just annoyed by some fallout from this major change :)
