I did not know this (still keeping my cozy custom pacman.conf here),
but this point is still there to be discussed, yes.
And I hope it won't be ended by people saying "it's not the arch way".
Personally I like the idea of integrating a new dialogue into the installer.
OpenBSD uses /etc/motd to announce some Documentation (man first_steps
or something like that), which explains the first steps which one should
do after setting up the box.
Personally, i find this a good way. Topics to be considered:
- How to setup Networking
- Pacman.conf et al
- pacman -Sy
- pacman -S <pkg>
- hostname, hosts.conf
- adduser
- ...
People might just have installed archlinux on their only computer with
network connectivity and not printed out the online manual before. So
they have the most important doc right at their fingertips (even when
archlinux.org is down at that moment, i speak from experience from my
only arch install :-)
I really like this idea I think it would be great, because I know
someone who installed arch but needed my help on getting his net
connection setup ect, but know he loves arch like the rest of us :)
