# This is used by my packer build, but is wired to work for a complete install.
#
# Description: Thse are the pre-installation steps for Arch, where you may have
# launched the iso and have a terminal, but you're working off a live system
# and still need to partition the disk.
#
# Warning: This installation is wired for efi mode installations.  While it
# may print a warning it won't stop the installation and may leave you with
# a derelict system.
#
# Warning: This currently uses /dev/sda explicitly and may delete data or fail
# if there are multiple disks connected or you are using alternative storage
# such as M.2/NVME.

[ ! -f /sys/firmware/efi/efivars ] && echo "efivars not mounted and this install may leave you with a derelict system..."

# optionally print all commands
[ -n "$DEBUG" ] && set -x

# test network connection
ping -c 3 archlinux.org

# synchronize time (print for debug)

# @todo: future editions will intelligently check available disks,
# may ask which disk to use, may detect if running on a laptop,
# may automatically choose or ask if swap should be sized for
# hibernation, and appropriately modify partition logic.

# partition the hard drive
