Re: Shell Script

Well it says that it's not a script, it's a dir. Where's the actual script?

Hi and welcome to the forums!
I'm curious: how did you install Arch Linux?

Re: Shell Script

The AUR package would work.  The "installation" instructions provided by the upstream developer are braindead.  And that's worth keeping in mind: I'd not trust a script written by someone who wrote those instructions.

EDIT: a quick glance at the script itself suggests they probably know what they are doing and leads me to believe that perhaps different people wrote the script and the install instructions.

(And personally I'm a bit put off if your code's license is longer than your code.)
