Haggis Veteran Posted April 25, 2015 Veteran Share Posted April 25, 2015 tried this tonight its awesome installs arch in half the time it takes me to do the manual CLI way http://sourceforge.net/projects/evolutionlinux/?source=typ_redirect simonlang, Stonixx and Max Norris 3 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Norris Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 Nice, will have to remember that one on my next install.. kind of miss the older installer that used to be there a couple years back. The manual way was fun the first time around.. got old quick though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haggis Veteran Posted April 25, 2015 Author Veteran Share Posted April 25, 2015 Yeah its fun to play with but after a few times its really tedious. This installer is awesome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unobscured Vision Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 So this installs Arch for you? Is that what I'm reading on the Sourceforge page (in the description and screenshots)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haggis Veteran Posted April 25, 2015 Author Veteran Share Posted April 25, 2015 you just tell it what you want and it steps you through it like the debian installer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haggis Veteran Posted April 25, 2015 Author Veteran Share Posted April 25, 2015 full install, to the command line in under 15 mins it gives options for most DE's too they take about 5 mins to install its just on a spinning disk not ssd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonlang Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 full install, to the command line in under 15 mins it gives options for most DE's too they take about 5 mins to install its just on a spinning disk not ssd haggis do you know if arch also differs between ssd and hdd in the way that it sets different kernel i/o scheduler states like antergos installer does? deadline for non rotating (ssd) disks and cfq for rotating (hdd) disks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unobscured Vision Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 That's really, really interesting. I may have to give this a go soon in a VM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDT Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 Hmm, I'm thinking of trying Arch, it would be my first time, so I need all the help I can get. Can anyone tell me the 1,2,3's of this? I'm guessing it's not as simple as doing a apt-get Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing it's not as simple as doing a apt-get the simplest way would be going for antergos. ubuntu like installer, you can't do anything wrong.

Haggis Veteran Posted April 26, 2015 Author Veteran Share Posted April 26, 2015 I would recommend doing arch manually first few times. If you use this and dont know your way around then your gonna struggle if anything goes wrong Max Norris 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
