[arch-releng] [PATCH] message on installation medium bootup
by Ian Li 11 Sep '18

11 Sep '18

Today on the arch linux ama on r/linux, I talked with SvenStaro and Foxboron on making a message show up on boot for the arch boot media I added a few lines to .zlogin (what I think is what gets launched upon login with zsh) that shows a message on how to install arch linux, so that new users aren't staring at the abyss of the terminal when they plug in the install media for the first time I've never committed to a project before, nor am I very experienced, so I would check this with caution, as I think it should work, but I have not tested it. also apologies for the poor formatting, I have no idea what I am doing also, I did have to resend this email, as I sent the thing through gmail the first time, so apologies about the duplicate email Signed-off-by: Ian Li <il.348963380(a)gmail.com> --- configs/releng/airootfs/root/.zlogin | 24 ++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 24 insertions(+) diff --git a/configs/releng/airootfs/root/.zlogin b/configs/releng/airootfs/root/.zlogin index f598e43..e9ad39e 100644 --- a/configs/releng/airootfs/root/.zlogin +++ b/configs/releng/airootfs/root/.zlogin @@ -1 +1,25 @@ ~/.automated_script.sh +echo -e " \e[0;36m , _ \e[0m _ _ + \e[0;36m /#\\ __ _ _ __ ___| |__ \e[0m | (_)_ __ _ ___ __ + \e[0;36m /###\\ / _\` | '__/ __| '_ \\ \e[0m| | | '_ \\| | | \\ \\/ / + \e[0;36m /#####\\ | (_| | | | (__| | | |\e[0m| | | | | | |_| |> < + \e[0;36m /##,-,##\\ \\__,_|_| \\___|_| |_|\e[0m|_|_|_| |_|\\__,_/_/\\_\\ + \e[0;36m /##( )##\\ + \e[0;36m /#.-- --.#\\ \e[0;97m\e[1mA simple, lightweight distribution. + \e[0;36m /\` \`\\ \e[0m + \e[0;97m + + Welcome to Arch Linux, A simple, lightweight distribution + + + for help on installation, please read the installation instructions at + + https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Installation_guide + + + for any further help or questions please refer to the wiki at + + https://wiki.archlinux.org/ +\e[0m +" + -- 2.18.0

[arch-releng] information for new users on booting the install media
by Ian Li 10 Sep '18

10 Sep '18

I am very new to git and committing to a project in general, so apologies about the deplorable formatting in both this email and the patch file's name I don't think this really is an issue anywhere, but on the reddit ama hosted today on r/linux I talked with Svenstaro about some information for new users on booting up the install media, so that new users aren't completely freaked out by the blank terminal. I would review this to check that if this even works patch file and the added lines, but I think it should work, considering it's just a few new lines in .zlogin and I don't see why it shouldn't thanks for your time looking over this, this is just a small change
