Translations:Installation with Manjaro Architect/5/en
From Manjaro
- The install media can be very small. In this case the download is less than 500MB. Also since no video-drivers are needed for the text-only environment it is unlikely that you will run into problems booting the M-A ISO.
- The packages installed to the resulting target will be the latest available on the chosen branch and no matter how old your install media might be, you will not need to update the fresh install.
Like that the manjaro-architect ISO will basically never be outdated. Even the installer itself will be updated automatically when you start the launcher.
- The same install media can be used to install any desktop environment - even those DEs and WMs not maintained as an edition by Manjaro.
- Options for customization are basically unlimited. You are free to choose your kernel(s), drivers, desktop environment (or none) and any other packages and you will have many more and very detailed ways of configuring the target install to your liking.
At the same time, if you prefer, you can use mhwd's automatic driver installation and access the pre-configured iso-profiles of Manjaro's supported editions to install an environment of identical configuration with what you would get by unsquashing one of our ISOs.
