LEARNING PATH
You have been learning about Arch Linux and ArcoLinux. At some point in time you may wish to build your own distro/iso and start building it up from scratch. That is phase 8.

Each month we will try to make another step in order to develop our own distro.

8 Improving the PKGBUILD for the grub theme
In this video we will check the pkgbuild. We are using 'convenience' or 'maintenance' files. It makes no sense these packages go on the users system. So we remove them from the source folder before the building happens.
7 Adding prompt in Calamares before installing
We would like Calamares to give a prompt to the user. prompt-install: true You can find the setting in settings.conf of your Calamares config.
