+Some things are specific to my home network. Uses PXE, designed for bare

 Features people may find useful: installs encrypted arch, debian stable,
 & debian testing all on the same btrfs filesystem, smartly utilizing
-multiple disks, with scripts to automatically decrypt on reboots. Other
-debian based distros should work fine, and I'm planning to add Fedora
-support. Disks are grouped as ssd or hdd and raided in raid 1 or raid 0
-per configuration. The os raid is partitioned into boot, swap, and root,
-(only boot is unencrypted) and there are scripts to resize those
-partitions post-install if needed.

 It also fully automates configuration of an openwrt router after manual
 initial installation.

 My network is a wndr3700v2 router with openwrt on it and a few pcs/laptops.
