I want install Arch on a new laptop(that cureently runs Windows 10) I just bought. Since I don't want to run through the installation manually(again) I want to use the installation script. Unfortunately I have a small problem. I can configure everything as I want, except the drives. When I click enter on the tab for the drives it opens a black screen with nothing in it. I can write in it anything I want, but commands don't work. It is also impossible to exit this window except if I use ctrl+c. Does anyone knows how to fix this?

So we've gone full circle and we're now back with a crappy installer that does not work properly and needs manual work outside the installer?

It takes 5 minutes to install Arch manually so why even bother using scripts?

*before reading, and typing all the required commands for 10 minutes.

**3 if you are a "arch linux veteran".

Exactly!

Well it's easy for beginners to use the archinstall script than go the manual way.

If that's what they want, they chose the wrong distro.
