### Intro
This ansible role is being used for installing Arch Linux on a new computer. Please make sure, that you understand the underlaying roles and what they do before following my quickstart guide you can find within the fitting playbook. I am NOT responsible to anything that might happen by executing my ansible roles. As we are installing a new operating system, [ansible-arch-setup](https://github.com/MayNiklas/ansible-arch-setup.git) is formatting your drive before the install. This leads into dataloss. Don't forget to correctly backup your device!
### To do
- encrypted root partition
- swap partition for hibernate
- migrate non essential parts of the install into [ansible-arch](https://github.com/MayNiklas/ansible-arch.git)
- dual boot with windows
- driver installation triggered via ansible facts (?)
### Role information

### playbook
This role is used by my [ansible-arch-install](https://github.com/MayNiklas/ansible-arch-install.git) playbook. I would suggest, using it as a starting point!
Requirements
------------
Any pre-requisites that may not be covered by Ansible itself or the role should be mentioned here. For instance, if the role uses the EC2 module, it may be a good idea to mention in this section that the boto package is required.
Role Variables
--------------
A description of the settable variables for this role should go here, including any variables that are in defaults/main.yml, vars/main.yml, and any variables that can/should be set via parameters to the role. Any variables that are read from other roles and/or the global scope (ie. hostvars, group vars, etc.) should be mentioned here as well.
Dependencies
------------
A list of other roles hosted on Galaxy should go here, plus any details in regards to parameters that may need to be set for other roles, or variables that are used from other roles.
Example Playbook
----------------
Including an example of how to use your role (for instance, with variables passed in as parameters) is always nice for users too:
- hosts: servers
roles:
- { role: username.rolename, x: 42 }
