Arch Linux Installer "Archinstall" 2.8.1 Adds Experimental LVM Support

([Arch Linux] 13 Minutes Ago Archinstall 2.8.1)


Archinstall 2.8.1 is now available for the newest version of this easy-to-use, command-line driven installer for the Arch Linux operating system.

Archinstall makes it easy to get an Arch Linux deployment going in a matter of minutes regardless of whether wanting a server setup or a desktop environment of your choosing. The newest feature of Archinstall 2.8.1 is adding experimental Logical Volume Manager (LVM) support. When setting up a default partitioning layout, LVM can now be selected and follows the DM-CRYPT recommendations and allows for optionally opting into LVM on LUKS or LUKS on LVM.

Further improvements to the LVM support in Archinstall are planned like allowing a manual LVM configuration, cleaning up the CLI menu/options, and other features. Daniel Girtler worked on this LVM support for Archinstall with more details available from [1]this merge :

Archinstall 2.8.1 also has locale fixes, code refactoring, and a variety of fixes.

What If Bill Gates Was a Stand-Up Comedian?

1. None of his jokes would be funny.
2. Subliminal message hyping Microsoft and Windows 98 would be inserted
throughout his performance.
3. The audio system (running Windows NT) would always crash right before Bill
got to a punch line. At that time one of the managers would announce,
"Please hold tight while we diagnose this intermittent issue."
4. Tickets for Bill's show would be handed out for free in an attempt to
attract customers away from Netscape's shows.
5. Industry pundits would call Bill's show "innovative" and would ask "Why
doesn't IBM have a stand-up routine? This is exactly why OS/2 is failing in
the market."
6. Bill's show would be called "ActiveHumor 98"
7. In a perfect imitation of his Windows 95 OS, Bill wouldn't be able to tell
a joke and walk around at the same time.
8. Audience members would have to sign a License Agreement in which one of the
terms is "I agree never to watch Linus Torvalds' show, 'GNU/Humorux'".
9. All audience members would receive a free CD of Internet Explorer 4.0, with
FakeJava(R) and ActiveHex(tm) technology.
10. Bill Gates would appear on Saturday Night Live, causing ratings to drop
even further.
