# Linux Essentials
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This repository contains everything essential to getting a running Arch Linux installation going with xmonad, tmux,
|
|
|
|
|
lemonbar, and many other configurations. This repository is based almost entirely on [Alex McArther's](http://github.com/acmcarther)
|
|
|
|
|
repository for the same thing. The directory structure is as follows:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. *dotfiles/* - This contains any related dotfiles
|
|
|
|
|
2. *scripts/* - This directory contains most of the important things to get the installation running
|
|
|
|
|
1. *scripts/sysinstall/* - This directory contains a number of scripts for configuring the system
|
|
|
|
|
2. *scripts/sysinit/* - This directory contains anything needed for system initialization
|
|
|
|
|
3. *scripts/solutions/* - This directory contains any fixes that can be run for various packages
|
|
|
|
|
4. *scripts/lemonbar/* - This directory contains any related lemonbar scripts
|
|
|
|
|
5. *scripts/diagnostics/* - This directory contains scripts for helping to diagnose problems
|
|
|
|
|
3. *installation_instructions* - This file contains a series of command you copy and paste during install of Arch
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Take care with the dotfiles. My configurations change the terminal colors to be solarized dark. If you do not like them
|
|
|
|
|
they can be easily changed in the Xresources dotfile.

5. No chef script to do everything for you
|
|
|
|
|
6. Rustc - local libs aren't initially visible
|
