Guys, As I sit cobbling together script snippets to help automate the new media install for my use, I am curious if there is any current effort/project to develop a new AIF type installer? Or, is there any plan to take the current old AIF and update it going forward. If not, is there any suggestion/desire to set up a development page/wiki to capture thoughts/ideas/notes concerning what Arch users are currently doing to help automate the install. That way at least there is a central place for the information to be coordinated that would foster a bit of development in that direction regardless of whether it ever becomes an official project. For example, to make grub2 config a little easier I cobbled together a couple of lines from the Install_Guide, Beginners_Guide and Grub2 wiki to come up with a short snippet for my use: # Install a bootloader (grub2) - PART2 instdev="$1" modprobe dm-mod grub-install --target=i386-pc --recheck --debug "$instdev" mkdir -p /boot/grub/locale cp /usr/share/locale/en\@quot/LC_MESSAGES/grub.mo /boot/grub/locale/en.mo sed -i 's/GRUB_GFXMODE=.*$/GRUB_GFXMODE=1024X768X32/' /etc/default/grub grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg Nothing special about any of this, but if there was an interest in capturing this type of information and other information related to the install for later use (or just to prevent reinventing the wheel), then some central page makes sense. Also, if there was any interest in a future AIF continuation, I'd be happy to help where I could. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
