During installation, it gives a grub installation error. Grub was not installed. Bios/MBR. Installing on a blank HDD drive

Calamares has a problem with installing the bootloader on a bios/mbr system. I just tried EndeavourOS and Kiro (Erik DuBois' new distro) and both installed without an error message but the resulting installation was not bootable as no bootloader was installed. Garuda will not even let you install to a legacy bios/mbr system, forcing you to use uefi. Debian's new release also errors out and will not install a bootloader under the same conditions.

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.

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.
