Enable support for Arch Linux #25

Open idvoretskyi opened 7 years ago

idvoretskyi commented 7 years ago

As a Chromebook user, I'd like to utilize chrx for easier installation of Arch Linux (instead of the manual installation process).

Manual instructions are described - https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Chrome_OS_devices

I like this idea, but I won't be able to implement it in the near future.

The manual instructions on the Arch site are for installing from ISO unfortunately (after awkwardly partitioning using an old version of ChrUbuntu...??). This is not convertible to a process that chrx can use.

Closing for now, but for future searchers: PRs are very welcome.

On second thought, re-opening so that future discussions on the topic can be collected in one place. Hopefully we can attract enough interest to the idea that progress can be made.

That would be great, considering the increasing number of Arch users and the fact that it's very light.

Anarchy Linux automates Arch installation.

naturallymitchell commented 6 years ago

Anarchy Linux livecd doesn't have a working keyboard for Asus C202SA. I'm thinking about doing an Arch install from existing Linux or installing from an Arch livecd over an existing install. I have chrx installing GalliumOS now, after resizing ChromeOS, which would allow me to reuse the partition scheme, but I have a hard time installing boot loaders, hence my main reason for using Anarchy Linux. Does anyone have pointers for installing Arch?
