    overwritten by a package).

-- **Checkboxes instead of the leave-out list**: Calamares has no ready
-  checkbox page whose ticks come out as plain ids (netinstall's are package
-  installs); it would take a QML page (packagechooserq) or a small C++

 - **Branding**: the live session's os-release says "Steamify, based on
   CachyOS" (Hello's subtitle); Hello's window title and the boot menu still
   say CachyOS. Check with the CachyOS team.
