arch

====

A small script to prepare new installations of Arch Linux.

Run the following at the initial prompt, after having booted the

install medium:

    export BASE_URL="url"

    curl -sSL "${BASE_URL}/arch-install.sh" | zsh

Ideas

-----

* [ ] Automatically install console keyboard layout, patched to use

  CAPS LOCK as an additional Ctrl key.

* [X] Rank mirrors using Reflector.

* [X] Change `SigLevel` in `pacman.conf` to `PackageRequired`

* [ ] Edit `/etc/makepkg.conf` to optimize compiler flags and not

  compress packages (`PKGEXT='.pkg.tar'`).

* [X] Install

  [Powerpill](http://xyne.archlinux.ca/projects/powerpill/) and set it

  up to use Rsync. Must edit `/etc/powerpill/powerpill.json` to

  include Rsync mirrors ranked in the previous step.

* Install Pacaur and configure it to use Powerpill.

* [X] Transfer config files to the new installation.

* [ ] Install some key packages into the new install:

    * Zsh

    * Emacs

* [ ] Add user.

* [ ] Clone configuration files.
