I've written a bash script that will install the Talking Arch distro non-interactively.

To use it follow these steps:

1. Boot Talking Arch
2. Set up your partitions
3. `wget http://www.raspberryvi.org/Downloads/ta-tools-1.0.0.tar.gz
4. tar zxf ta-tools-1.0.0.tar.gz
5. Make sure the contained script is executable and run it.

It will do the first pre-chroot of the install and write a here script into the chroot and mark it executable.

After the chroot, run the newly created script to create the installation.

Here is the full script:

#!/bin/bash
#
# Talking Arch setup

# Change the commenting of the variables below
REGION=Europe
#REGION=America

#CITY=Chicago

# This MUST be a full path to where the script must be in the chroot
HERE_SCRIPT=/mnt/root/001-ta-tools.sh
