Re: [orca-list] Fwd: Re: [Support] autoinstall of talking arch

["B. Henry" <burt1iband gmail com>]

I am pretty sure it would not be hard to adapt the Manjaro installer for arch if anyone really wants to do 
this, but again, arch is not the distro for 
those who do not know enough to deal with the installation process.  Just installing something is hardly the 
whole show. 
I think that perhaps a specific arch configuration could be useful automated, but getting a basic arch box, 
installed, and by basic I mean what you get 
with talking arch or any arch if you just install base, maybe base-devel and the stuff to get speakup working 
would be like making a bot to kick novice 
skydivers out of the jump hatch of a plane. You would hardly be doing the novice  skkydiver a  favor in most 
cases I think.
I think archboot may be what talking arch did  back around 2010, i.e. you were given options, mostly numbered 
lists of options to choose from as I 
recall. 
I think the manjaro installer will indeed encrypt by default, but you do have the option of using a 
partitioning tool that works well enough except you 
must shift tab instead of forward tabbing to get at most options most of thje time to use it  accessibly. 
As is usually the case choosing your locale from the lists can be very sluggish on most machines.
