+FIFA is a Flexible Installer Framework for Arch linux.

+---  Very, very early in development.  Use at own risk!! ---

+** Goals **
+The goal of this project is 
+1) to allow you to install Arch Linux in more flexible and powerful ways.
+2) write an automated (unattended) installer
+3) Apply DRY patterns to the installation procedure, making it more easy to maintain the code.
+
+
+You can choose to use unattended (automatic) installation (you can write different profiles for different scenario's,
+and/or use autodetection) or prompt the user for whatever you want to know (you could mimic the official installer like
+that).
+You can also take parts from different profiles (installation procedures) and combine them
+together to come up with the installation procedure of your liking.
+
+
+** Notes **
+all files (profiles, package lists,...) used by/for this script should be stored in /home/arch/fifa in the
+live environment.  Put fifa.sh wherever you want, but putting it together
+with the other installers (in /arch) seems the most obvious to me.
