Aturux-OS

Aturux-OS ist a personal modification (added some extra software for Budgie Desktop) of the original arch-setup: https://github.com/jorgeluiscarrillo/arch-setup

arch-setup is a console menu based (TUI) install script for Arch Linux.

The goal of this project is to provide a "Debian-like" install experience for new users interested in Arch Linux. Nearly every aspect of the install process is configurable by the installer. However, when it comes to more complicated aspects such as partitioning, the installer uses sane defaults to keep the installation process as user friendly as possible.

Usage

Prerequisites

• Bootable installation media
  • First, download the latest Arch ISO. Then, follow the instructions to create a bootable device
• Working internet connection
• If you require a wireless connection, use the iwctl command to connect to a network

Downloading and Running the Script

1. Once you have booted into the live media, install git and dialog: pacman -Sy git dialog --noconfirm

   • If you encounter error: not enough free disk space, then increase cowspace:

     mount -o remount,size=1G /run/archiso/cowspace

2. Clone this repository: git clone https://github.com/gorkawien/AturuxOS-Budgie

3. Run the script: cd AturuxOS-Budgie/ && chmod +x setup && ./setup
