Hey guys. So I wrote a script for Manjaro mainly for myself but I thought maybe other people might like it to. While Linux doesn't have any kind of DRM it does however rely quite heavily on an internet connection to work. Mostly for installing packages and updating the system. So I wrote a script intended to be used with the live ISO version of Manjaro.

Here's what it does

> Creates a folder called man-pack
> Downloads all updates and Linux Kernel 47.
> Also downloads a few packages included wine full spell checking for LibreOffice and Nvidia Drivers.
> Packs them all into a .tar file and creates another script to install it all.

This script is meant for NVIDIA USERS ONLY Attempting this on a system without an Nvidia card will more then likely break it.

Please let me know what you think and also be sure to check the code and don't hold me responsible if it doesn't work for you like it has for me.

If you like this script please let me know I plan to write more for more distributions.

Two questions:

What is "Linux Kernel 47"? The latest version of the kernel is only 4.8-rc4 (according to kernel.org).

Why is your script meant only for users of a specific brand of hardware (one I refuse to use due to the lack of open source driver support)?

Because it was mostly written for me and I use Nvidia. You can always edit it though. AS for the Kernel I'm not sure. 47 was the latest available for this.

There's no such thing as "Linux Kernel 47". Maybe you mean Linux 4.7 (which is the latest stable version of the kernel)?

Yes that's it. Sorry every time I think I have an understanding of something I realize I don't :P
