Archinstall is the wonderful command-line driven installer that was introduced to the Arch Linux ISOs three years ago for making it quicker and easier to get a customized Arch Linux installation. Out today is Archinstall 2.8.2 to further refine that experience.

Archinstall 2.8.2 has changed how its mirror listing is handled in order to optimize it for faster mirror loading and downloads during installation.

Archinstall 2.8.2 also has more curses menu work, fixing the mount order, updating the Limine boot loader handling, and other updates.
