@stgraber you need to wait

Btw, +1 from me as well ; your requirements make sense for use of classic in a build tool which is expected to have access to a many aspects of the system as you very clearly described. My only comment would be that maybe you don’t need classic for unpacking iso images; in the old checkbox project we obviated the need for root permissions by using isoinfo (from genisoimage package) to extract some or all files from an iso image. But it needs some extra elbow grease; if you’ll get classic anyway, doing so via a mount might be easier.
