Re: Jenux OS, The "Next Jen!"
The ISO hrew errors and made assumptions; too many, in fact. First it assumed I needed a swap partition when I didn't. Second, it assumed I needed an encrypted swap partition when, again, I did not. It also assumed I needed an encrypted home directory, when, for that test, I did not. So yes, take this project down an get a trusted installer that works the best, and then ask others to test it. Don't try making your own.
@82, you have a point. I was, however, talking about arch Linux specifically, not any of its derivative works (i.e. Manjaro). The core Arch Linux install process is designed to teach users how Linux works from an installer viewpoint, and it does that quite well. The only systems or tutorials that do that better are Gentoo and Linux from Scratch. It may seem daunting, but once you learn the install process and have practiced it many times, you get used to it, and are practically able to do it from memory. Gentoo doesn't have an installer, either -- primarily because it can't have one because it is far too flexible. Arch Linux technically can't (and shouldn't) have one either because, again, it is extremely flexible. If you absolutely need an installer, make it as flexible and customizable as possible (i.e. provide a user-friendly interface, but make it possible to enter custom package groups and lists and so on, and don't assume anything).
