This is brilliant. I realize that it's actually worthwhile to keep offline files rather than having to access everything online. The Internet is kind of a fragile thing if you think about it. One single outage, and you're in problems.
Keeping offline files is a particularly valid option given all the huge storage space that is available even in something as simple as a micro SD card.
And ncurses. I love it. To me, ncurses is actually the best user interface I have ever seen. Thank you for recommending this, Derek.

Please guys help,
I have installed archlinux for the 4th time, and every time I reboot my computer and try to boot in to my Manjaro or Windows10 .. I can't !
they're all listed on grub main page and seem fine .
- The error in Manjaro is : a black screen with the following - kernel panic: not syncing VFS unable to mount root fs on unknown blocks 0 0 .
And in Windows 10 , it just wouldn't let me log in , it stops me at login screen.

The Arch Wiki is somewhat Universal as far as Linux is Linux no matter what Distro you use. Linux under the DeskTop is still Linux and 99% of the Distros work the same, there are some difference but for the most part, baring the way you install software in you Distro the Arch Wiki will help ya... I have use it several times for things other than Arch... Yes other Distros have their own Wiki's I'm just saying... :- )

I run into trouble when I tried to run the wiki-search command; since after executing that command I hadn't any dialog box to chose an option from.
Fortunately if you are running into the same problem this can be solved by installing dialog (sudo pacman -S dialog) and after doing so you can now get a menu to chose from whatever term you are trying to get more information about.

Hey -DistroTube I don't know if you read comments on old videos but I'm curious: any interest in an arch wiki t-shirt? It's the best page on the whole internet by far and I feel it would be cool to help spread the word and give some more support to arch. If anyone knows about someone selling such a t-shirt I'm interested.

I loaded the arch-wiki as prescribed and proceeded to open a page from /usr/share/doc/arch-wiki/html/en. I'm not sure why, but the pages that load are blank in Firefox. I can load the pages from the internet, but pages in the directory will not display in firefox. I don't see any errors, and I'm not sure what is going on.

Why use arch-wiki-lite if you can choose the html file by dmenu LOL
find /usr/share/doc/arch-wiki/html/en -type f - awk -F '/' '-print $NF-' - dmenu -i -l 10 -p -Choose Arch Wiki:- - xargs -I -- find /usr/share/doc/arch-wiki/html/en -name ---- - xargs -I -- xdg-open ----

Hey, DT, mind sharing your DIR_COLORS file? I couldn't find it anywhere on your git? Am I too bad at finding it or is it not there? Trying to figure out the ls -la colors on the info side, but I have no success. Thanks!

Nice and useful video.
Here's a tip to search with input in html's:
zenity --text -Search wiki for:- --entry - xargs -I X grep -rl X /usr/share/doc/arch-wiki/
html/en/ -l - dmenu - xargs -I X $BROWSER X

I type:
sudo pacman -S arch-wiki-docs
error: target not found: arch-wiki-docs
Can someone tell me what might be wrong? I'm using Manjaro 5.4.28-1. I can't -RTFM- until I can -DLTMF- LOL
