We currently use networking to download the eopkg repo
This is a workaround for ISOs @EbonJaeger has noted that we used to allow installation without network
This may require changes in ISO tooling.
To expand on the above, we added a couple of steps to the post-install phase of installation with Calamares as safety rails in case anyone tried to release ISOs with the Unstable repository instead of Shannon. I think the new ISO tooling also sets the stable repository, as long as you're not building a smoketest version.
The downside of also doing this as a post-install step is that users are now required to have a working internet connection to install Solus. But, we want users to still be able to install without an internet connection. So, the way I see it, we have two options:
Move the post-install process to a contextual process where we should be able to check for internet connectivity. I asked about this before in the Calamares Matrix room, and they indicated that there should be a global storage key for it. We could also move some or all of the current steps into a script that is then run from the current post-install step, and check for connectivity in the script.
Or, we could just rely on the ISO tooling, and not worry about this in Calamares at all.
There may be cases where a user doesn't have access to a network and would like to install Solus
