# Live Overlay
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Files in `iso-profiles/antergos/live-overlay/` exist only in the live environment — they are **not** present after installation.

## Key files
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### `etc/calamares/settings.conf`
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Symlink — points to either `../calamares-offline/settings.conf` or `../calamares-online/settings.conf`, set by `calamares-next.sh`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### `etc/calamares-online/settings.conf`
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Two `packagechooser` instances:
|
2026-07-06 19:42:27 +02:00
|
|
|
- `packagechooser@init` — init system (Dinit, OpenRC, Runit, S6) via netinstall-add
|
2026-06-29 21:27:46 +02:00
|
|
|
- `packagechooser@desktop` — DE selection via legacy method
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### `etc/calamares-online/modules/packagechooser_init.conf`
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Init selector config. Uses `method: netinstall-add` — the selected init pulls its associated packages.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### `etc/calamares-online/modules/packagechooser_desktop.conf`
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
DE selector config. Uses `method: legacy` — returns the selected DE as a global storage value.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### `etc/calamares-offline/settings.conf`
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
No packagechooser. Uses `unpackfs` to deploy a pre-built KDE Plasma squashfs.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### `usr/share/applications/calamares-config-switcher.desktop`
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Has `NoDisplay=true` to hide it from the app menu. The upstream Artix "Install Artix Linux" entry is suppressed this way.
