It is always easy (and fun) to start with a whatif.
What comes later is more difficult... maintaining.
Taking the time to keep things up-to-date.
Figuring out new challenges.
Read all you can about Calamares - make an account on their github and subscribe.
Every release they make - read what changed - read what is new.
Have a git clone somewhere on your machine and git pull from time to time. Read what changed in the code with git applications like gitfiend, gitahead, ...
Instead of building the packages I take a shortcut and get the packages from ArcoLinux for ALCI. They are in /var/cache/pacman/pkg anyway.
Preservefiles is a new module - we want to use it. It provides a log file on the user's system.
Use ripgrep (rg) to search in the content of files.
I did forget to add "preservefiles" to the very end (just before umount) of the calamares setting.conf file.
If you forget, the module will just not be loaded.
I have added also the switch "-d" behind the Calamares installer so that we get as much debugging information as possible.
