instantARCH

instantARCH is the custom made installer being used for instantOS. It is a netinstall based around instantmenu and written in bash.

Use testing branch

ibuild instantarchtest [branchname]

This lets you select the branch you want to run and opens up a debug menu when the installer is started

Debugging mode

Debugging mode is enabled by either exporting the environment variable INSTALLDEBUG or by creating the file /tmp/installdebug. It opens a debug menu after each step and allows for pausing, cancelling or continuing the installation.

you can put an identifier in /tmp/debugname that is then put in the log file in order to be able to later recognize a testing installation
