i have windows installed in my
i boot omarchy in a pendrive and when you run the installation after define you user,hostname,etc.. omarchy list your available disk to install it.
In my case i see two:

  • my disk /dev/sda1
  • my pendrive /dev/sdb (with omarchy)

i create an mount partition to install omarchy from root@archivo and cfdisk to install omarcy without erase all my windows data,
but omarchy continue offering me just this two disk.

so. i'm doing something wrong?
or is just the natural behaviour?

it's a bug or a feature ? :p

Yeah seems like the default installer is deliberately designed to take up a full disk. You can find some info (and workaround) in the Getting Started section: "Omarchy is installed using an ISO. It's designed for a dedicated drive, so dual-booting requires two disks in your machine (unless you do a manual install work around this).The installation will wipe the selected drive and use full-disk encryption"
