I think ArchBang tries to do that. It might be a nice in-between for a new arch user's first time.
Then again, I think I had a set of other problems when I tried it.
I have spent a decent amount of time trying to understand all the steps of the process just so that I can troubleshoot without immediately needing to access the arch-wiki. The knowledge is nice to have, and building familiarity with the system one uses should never be seen as wasted time :)
- atweiden 11y agoI second the recommendation of ArchBang. It's a very lightweight LiveCD (~500MB) with a GUI installer that works pretty well. If you're comfortable on the cmdline, you could search the official archlinux forums, though. There are quite a few arch setup scripts floating around. You could try this one for btfs on luks: https://github.com/atweiden/pacstrapit https://github.com/atweiden/pacstrapit ./pacstrapit start --bundle "full" \ --username "newusername" \ --hostname "yourhostname" \ --partition "/dev/sda" \ --processor "intel" \ --graphics "nvidia" \ --disk "ssd" \ --luksname "infinity" \ --locale "en_US" \ --keymap "us" \ --timezone "America/Los_Angeles" \ --concealed
