I have installed Arch the "correct" way, but just for fun I decided to try the MorpheusArch installer and I used a wired connection to my laptop as recommended.
I selected MATE as opposed to xfce4.
All went well, but I think you need to clarify the instructions regarding subsequent wifi connections.
Firstly, dialog needs to be installed:
Code:
sudo pacman -S dialog
Open wifi-menu as root:
Code:
# wifi-menu
To make the wifi connection permanent:
Code:
sudo netctl enable <myhomenetworkname>
The installation went perfectly but the MorpheusArch installer, rightly or wrongly, will probably have very limited appeal since it will offend the sensitivities of the Arch "have you read the Arch Installation Guide" purists.
A custom arch ISO that lets the user install a fresh Arch linux starting with openrc instead of systemd. To do this during the installation the user runs: pacstrap -i /mnt base-openrc base base-devel This will install the minimum things necessary to start openrc when the system boots as well as the base arch linux system while avoiding systemd. Last step of the installation is to append the following repository to /etc/pacman.conf: [arch-openrc] SigLevel = PackageOptional Server = http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/archopenrc/$repo/$arch

Thanks for your post.
Meh..
It'll offend the Arch faithful because it's just another Arch installer. Instead of creating an installer wouldn't it have been better just go back to working on the AIF? I'm also not really comfy with getting new people on Arch when it breaks and it will without a bit of experience it's gonna be broken for good. The Arch community both inthe forums and in social media just isn't as nice as most.
What I really want though is Arch to stop being something people want to install as a way to "prove" something.
^ strangely, i agree with everything written in the previous post.
the real point here is not a working installer (it is probably working very well!), but the ability to maintain your system afterwards.
I think there is no problem with an Arch installer per se (or pre-configured Arch flavors, like ArchBang, if you already know how to set up and maintain an Arch system.

Really? You might want to tell the CRUX developers, they don't seem to know that, since they released a new version just 6 months ago.
