Please for the love of god host the files elsewhere, megaupload, google drive.. ANYWHERE but sourceforge, downloads are dog slow 170kbps on a 300Mbps connection. I'd love to give this a go but waiting over 5 hours for a download to complete? I think not.Reply from EzarcherEdited 2025-10-22

Now it actually works. Even with manual disk partitioning, everything works fine. Thanks for the work. Xfce keeps going to sleep even when everything is turned off in the power manager. I looked at the dconf settings and the reason for the blocking was there. Everything works fine. Thanks again for your work.Reply from EzarcherEdited 2025-10-05
New ISOs and project files are available. I reverted to Calamares 3.3.14, and bios/MBR installs appear to work again, at least when using the entire drive and not manual partitioning. Thanks for the feedback. -
Outstanding work! Congratulations.

I've been using Ezarcher since its inception. Makes installing Arch simpler and comes with tools that automate a few tasks. Works really well, I've used it happily for a long time now. I've had few issues along the way but those that have cropped up are the sorts of things you are going to find with any Arch or Arch based distro. We all know Arch can be temperamental, at times. Recently moved from Plasma to Cinnamon (KDE 6 does not play nice with my hardware). Enjoying it a lot. So in short, I recommend Ezarcher . I believe its a one person effort too, which makes it even more impressive. Well done.Reply from EzarcherPosted 2024-03-31
Thank you for your continued use and recommendation. This is a one man project, so sometimes the releases are haphazard, but I try to fix problems quickly and update the ISOs regularly. -
Easy way to install a solid vanilla arch with excellent configs. And you can learn a lot studying the included scripts and docs.
