## Introduction

This is an automated install script to ease the installation process.

I will list all the software that I am using and why. The reason that I am doing this now is that I feel that the best way to enjoy Linux is with tiling window managers, however they are quite a pain to set up. I am going to end up forgetting why I installed specific packages and what I am doing with them. This way I will have a history of essential packages so that I always remember.

## Usage

This script will require you get through to a minimal install of arch. Since the arch install script has gotten better it makes a lot more sense for this to be a post install set up.
