Fix two bugs in the anaconda post-installation script:
1. Hostname handling: Anaconda writes an empty /etc/hostname to the target system. Now we preserve the hostname set during installation from the live environment, falling back to 'fws' if using default values.
2. Keyboard mapping: Anaconda derives keyboard layout from language only, ignoring territory. For locales with territory variants (e.g., fr_CH for Switzerland), we now apply territory-specific keyboard maps to both console (vconsole.conf) and X11 (xorg.conf.d) using langtable for proper mapping.
- Add kernel copy step in %pre to ensure vmlinuz-linux is available for mkinitcpio
- Refactor xinitrc post-install log detection to use /tmp/fws-post-chroot.log copied by kickstart
- Add success detection based on mkinitcpio and grub-install log markers
- Display success screen and poweroff on successful installation, show debug logs on failure
- Add load_policy and setstatus stub scripts to suppress SELinux-related Anaconda warnings
- Force MBR partition table (--disklabel=msdos) for BIOS boot compatibility
- Create standard mkinitcpio preset to replace archiso-specific configuration
- Automatically inject lvm2 hook when root is on LVM
- Fix GRUB installation to properly extract disk path from lsblk output
- Downgrade version to 0.5.3 (development/testing release)
- Add fallback GRUB installation for UEFI systems using --removable flag to ensure boot without NVRAM entries
- Fix BIOS disk detection for LVM root partitions by using lsblk with proper filtering instead of pkname
- Enhance debug logging to include %post chroot phase logs (fws-post.log) which indicate bootloader success
- Automatically mount and retrieve installation logs from the installed disk to verify bootloader installation
- Add detailed comments explaining UEFI/BIOS fallback strategies and LVM-aware disk detection
These changes ensure the system can boot even when NVRAM entries are missing or forgotten by firmware, and provide better visibility into bootloader installation success during the debug phase.
Add zerombr and clearpart commands to ensure clean disk state before installation.
This prevents issues when reinstalling on previously partitioned disks by:
- Reinitializing invalid partition tables (zerombr)
- Removing all partitions from all disks (clearpart --all)
- Writing a fresh disk label (--initlabel)
This makes reinstallation reliable even on disks with previous installations,
while allowing users to override defaults via the GUI if needed.
Add comprehensive FOSS compliance documentation including:
- COPYRIGHT.md: copyright holders and code ownership
- LICENSING.md: GPL-3.0-or-later policy and source offer
- NOTICE: attribution requirements for permissive licenses
- THIRD-PARTY-LICENSES.md: third-party software inventory
- TRADEMARKS.md: trademark notices and non-affiliation
- os-release hook and files: identify FWS as separate from Arch Linux
These documents establish legal compliance baseline for GPL/AGPL/Apache/MIT/BSD obligations before public distribution.
