[SCRIPT] PhoenixOS Installer for Debian based Linux

[mmtrt]

Hello I've Created installer script for PhoenixOS with help of grub installer script taken from remixos deb package file.

I am not responsible for anything that may happen to your PC/Laptop/Tab as a result of installing and using this script. you do so at your own risk and take the responsibility upon yourself.

Note: Backup your custom.cfg file if you are dual booting with other os if not then proceed further.
custom.cfg should be in /boot/grub/custom.cfg if EFI install then /boot/efi/EFI/yourdistroname/custom.cfg
p7zip-full should be installed its need for extracting ISO file.
Script should be placed where desired files or ISO is present.

--> This is tested and working fine in kde neon lts on MBR and GPT disks & EFI is not tested as I don't have that installation so it should work.
--> Other then Debian based distros IDK if my script works on them or not, so please test it yourself and inform.
--> If your home folder is defined on other disk or partition please add insmod part_gpt insmod ext2 OR insmod part_msdos insmod ext2 according to disk partition table to grub entry in custom.cfg

Features

• 
  Path defined root and home only.

• Method defined FILES and ISO & EXE only.

• Has Uninstall options.

• Data folder is created in os folder

Make script executable

chmod +x PhoenixOS-Installer-Linux

Then Run

./PhoenixOS-Installer-Linux

Not enough information. Please elaborate on the installation procedure itself. On Ubuntu of course it should install to sda2. I chose the path /dev/sda2/ then used .iso for the install method, and then upon trying to do the install using option 2 it simply keeps bringing me back to the menu where choices 1-4 are present.

I actually got PhoenixOS to install using the USB method, however I cannot find a working boot sequence for GRUB bootloader. I'm kind of at a loss for finding a way to easily switch between Ubuntu and PhoenixOS.

I got this done by making different partitions. Sounds like a no-brainer, but it works. My main OS is MacOSX, then I made different partitions of FAT32s using Disk Utility, I created them all in different sizes (to prevent confusion). After that, I just install the other OS one by one (Phoenix will always be the last). And, I made some extra partitions during Linux installation (just in case) and deleted them after.

As for the Phoenix post, Thank you

It does not work...
I have placed the script and the iso file in the same home directory, chdir in that place but the script does nothing ... It asks for sudo and the it does not create any directorys.
To complicated to debug for me....
EDIT:
I have managed to install it in home / iso mode
I had to edit the generated schipt for modifying GRUB. It was copiing the whole script and not stopping at EOF ?!
