Make use of archinstall as lightweight TUI installer

I would like to add @torxed's archinstall to an upcoming ISO release.

I think it is a fairly versatile approach to install Arch to a system using a Text-based user interface (TUI), leaving room for templating and user choice.

However, there are a few open questions, that I would like to discuss:

  • can we make archinstall an Arch project eventually? @torxed
  • how will we be able to integrate efforts for accessibility (e.g. TalkingArch) with it?
  • as we will not support the AUR (especially not via third-party AUR helpers): can we outsource the entire AUR functionality into a separate Python module?
To upload designs, you'll need to enable LFS and have an admin enable hashed storage. More information
