| When submitting a help ticket, please include the :code:`/var/log/archinstall/install.log`.
| It can be found both on the live ISO but also in the installed filesystem if the base packages were strapped in.
| There are additional log files under ``/var/log/archinstall/`` that can be useful.
| For instance the ``cmd_history.txt`` which contains a fully transparent list of all commands executed.
| Or ``cmd_output.txt`` which is a transcript and contains any output seen on the screen.
| There are additional log files under ``/var/log/archinstall/`` that can be useful:
- ``/var/log/archinstall/user_configuration.json`` - Stores most of the guided answers in the installer
- ``/var/log/archinstall/user_credentials.json`` - Stores any usernames or passwords, can be passed to ``--creds``
- ``/var/log/archinstall/user_disk_layouts.json`` - Stores the chosen disks and their layouts
- ``/var/log/archinstall/install.log`` - A log file over what steps were taken by archinstall
- ``/var/log/archinstall/cmd_history.txt`` - A complete command history, command by command in order
- ``/var/log/archinstall/cmd_output.txt`` - A raw output from all the commands that were executed by archinstall

We only try to guarantee that ``/var/log/archinstall/install.log`` is free from sensitive information.

| The guided installation also supports installing with pre-configured answers to all the guided steps.
| This can be a quick and convenient way to re-run one or several installations.
|
| After each successful installation a pre-configured configuration will be found at ``/var/log/archinstall`` both on the live media and the installed system.
There are three different configuration files, all of which are optional.
* ``--config`` that deals with the general configuration of language and which profiles to use.
