This looks more like a (bad) advertisement [1] than anything informative.

The link to you description will not load for me [2]. So all I know is you are brand new on these forums and are advertising a method of installation that would not be recommended or supported by this community.

However, community contributions that are providing meaningful contributions to an installation framework are always welcome.

I'm going to move this to Community Contributions and ask that you provide some description here of what this project is.

[1] spam, advertising, & solicitation

EDIT: [2] even if/when the site will load, users should be able to get a basic idea of what this is from your post here without having to "click through" to some other site.

FWIW the description did load earlier, but is not loading for me now either.

Yeah, it loaded for me a few minutes ago, but now I get this:

When it was up, I noted that ArchFix was inspired by that Ultimate Arch Installer script, so I guess it's aimed at the same audience. Pity people wouldn't invest their energies in more useful projects.

If you can follow the instructions on his webpage on how to get this script running, I'm pretty sure you are capable enough of following archwiki beginners guide and install arch on your own.

No.

This is fine for personal use, but it is beyond stupid to promote this sort of thing to people who are clueless enought to actually use it.

I wanna only share this project.
Some constructive criticism, would be nice

I'm with the moderators on this one (not uncommon). The Guides are easy and simple enough (and they support UEFI).

All the best,

That was constructive (for me, anyway).

Seriously, scratching your own itch is cool. Reaching into someone else's underpants and scratching their's for them is not...

or asking everybody else to scratch their same body parts where you have an itch... as in a recently TGN'd post.

Thanks, it's nice to have choices and I appreciate your work and for offering it to others. I may try it next time I need to install Arch.
I also appreciated your humour in making it sound like an advertisment

I might be wrong here, but it seems to me that this forum is called "community contributions", which does mean, or so i guess, that this here place is supposed to be for things contributed from people of the community for people of the community. So its whole purpose seems to be, figuratively speaking, about telling other people about how one scratched ones itch.

So, if you, to keep the metaphor, have not felt that itch whatsoever, you could just look away decently when others are scratching themselves, instead of mocking them for having an itch you don't feel.

But well, it really is better than insulting people. Which is, by the way, prohibited here.

Anyway
@memoryleakx
Im not sure if i miss something, is it possible to disable single step (eg partioning). And is there a way to have the script run full automatic, with all options given by a config file or anything?
