I don't think it's a good idea to include distro installation within linutil. Linutil is intended to setup a linux system post-install, and adding installation tools would clutter the interface and codebase. A separate program could be created for installation scripts, perhaps sharing part of linutil's codebase, if some want to explore that idea. |

Your not understanding the point of my Idea, I don't want the Installation in the App doing so is more complicated then writing scripts, I know I have been looking at it for weeks now... And it would be stand alone code it would nt clutter any thing, it's what One line and One Tab.. in the Main program every thing else is stand alone code.. at most you would have to implement the Theme code into this code to keep standard across the board.. |

Question is who and why would you need linutil to generate a configuration file to later be used in a script. I'd just make the argument to just use archinstall which is pretty simple as is nowadays, even for a non-technical person. That's my 2 cent at least. |

For repeatability Archinstall does nothing for you it installs what it wants and it server only I don't want that it useless to me .. |

The Idea is to implement, a menu into LinUtils to create a list of Question from the user to create a arch_install.toml whit all the information collected.
So that this config file can be used to install the Distro of choice, all of the information would be taken from the config file, which become the template for the install.
This way the code can be kept generic to the Template.. then people can save the config file to reinstall or share whit other's
I wrote a small app in Rust to help explain...
