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 repository for the same thing. The directory structure is as follows:
- dotfiles/ - This contains any related dotfiles
- scripts/ - This directory contains most of the important things to get the installation running
- scripts/sysinstall/ - This directory contains a number of scripts for configuring the system
- scripts/sysinit/ - This directory contains anything needed for system initialization
- scripts/solutions/ - This directory contains any fixes that can be run for various packages
- scripts/lemonbar/ - This directory contains any related lemonbar scripts
- scripts/diagnostics/ - This directory contains scripts for helping to diagnose problems
- 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.
