Note: There are many Arch Install scripts out there but I wanted to create my own for an educational purpose. So it's mainly a personal repository, but if you like the script or want to contribute, you're welcome to use it. -## Usage - -Advice 1: The archinstall.sh script supports currently just UEFI systems, german localization and installation via cable connection instead of WiFi. -Advice 2: Execute 'loadkeys de-latin1' after booting to live environment, if you want to set a german keyboard layout. You have to type 'z' for 'y' in loadkeys and 'ß' for the '-' sign. +## Usage -1. Download the Arch Linux .iso file and verify it. +1.
