Add xfs support to the installer #49

Closed stobbsm closed 6 years ago

stobbsm commented 6 years ago

Can't test a full system install, as I'm not sure how to generate a new installation image with this repo, but I can confirm the installer makes xfs partitions when requested, and I made ext4 the default when doing anything else.

Please let me know what needs to change. Haven't done much python, so it may be a little newbish.

Any movement on this? Any article you can point me to so I can build a test ISO and make sure it works correctly? I make the filesystem when using it straight from git, but the solus 3 iso is so old, it panics looking for the proper img to use.

Just figured out how to build an ISO with the os-installer from my fork. Seems to work and boot without issue (although virtualbox on my system always leaves me with a corrupt display). Testing it on an old machine tomorrow to see if it does in fact work properly. I'll let you know.

Not working as expected on a real system. Error's out with not being able to remove the live packages. I'm going to close this and submit a new one once I'm sure I've got it working.
