The purpose behind my implementation of an Arch installer is to install it non-interactively. The idea is interesting, but there are already available GUI installers in other projects.

Just a question @gsanhueza If you install a Desktop Environment and a Login Manager, or if you implement a "liveuser" account that you use for logging in the LIVE Environment, is it true that the zsh scripts inside airootfs/root don't run anymore?

For example, I'm thinking about the .zshrc file. If you login directly on GNOME, since you are not in tty, that script is not run... I think. So maybe for running them we are forced to stay in tty (I guess custom_airootfs.sh could work also in a GUI environment, but it is deprecated)

@D3vil0per If you want to install a desktop environment while running the Live ISO (I already offer i3 in it, and you can test it by running startx from the TTY when booting the generated ISO), the scripts will still be in /root. Additionally, the .zshrc file will still greet you when opening a new terminal (Meta + Enter when running i3).

If you still want to install a desktop environment with a new user in the live environment (instead of your disk drive), then yeah, the liveuser account will not have the scripts, but they can be found in /root (instead of /home/liveuser).

You're not forced to stay in TTY to access the scripts. I installed i3 in the live ISO to be able to use GUI apps, such as gparted, and it's still possible to access the installation scripts.
