FAQ

Q: Will you provide a way to install this distribution to a hdd or ssd?

It is a very focused operating system aimed at repairing broken installations, broken partitions and recovering data without needing an internet connection.

Q: Can others fork your project and make it installable?

A: Yes they can, they just have to follow the Arch Linux trademark guidelines and make it legally distinct from MorpheusArch Linux as well stating that MorpheusArch offers no support for MorpheusArch derivatives.

Q: Why do you not have this certain package installed?

A: Possibly because I haven't heard of it or don't know the usefulness of it. You can use the suggestion box page of the wiki to suggest packages to be installed.

A: No, but its possible you can recover 100% of them.

A: 0 - 100% I cannot guarentee any of the files will be recovered but the packages provided aim to recover the most.
