Hello Joan-Artur,

It's been several months now that I was thinking about forking one of the arch 
installers, for example Architect [0] or arch-anywhere [1]. I didn't know 
Calamares existed by the way.

And not only that, but also to "deploy" Parabola without spending too much 
time for complex configurations. Infact, one feature that most 
installer miss, is the ability to save the configuration made by the installer 
itself, in order to replicate it the next time that same configuration is 
needed.
