Biography
Emily Katharine Dooris was born in Ulster, Ireland and raised in Zanesville, Ohio.[2] She married Henry James Sharp, a medical doctor, around 1872.[3] The couple lived in London, Ohio, where Sharp became interested in botany. She contributed more than 400 specimens to the State Herbarium of Ohio during the period of 1899-1906. One of these, Armoracia aquatica, was rare to the area.[3]
Sharp began her writing career with a volume of poems, Eleanor's Courtship and The Songs that Sang Themselves, published in 1888. She also wrote fiction and non-fiction.[2] Sharp supported women's suffrage and wrote a series of articles, entitled "Women and the Elective Franchise," in a local newspaper around 1894.[2]

gollark: That would be "very fast", yes.
gollark: I simply type very fast.

The user can mount their newly formatted drive partition, and use pacstrap (or Pacman with the appropriate command-line switch) to install base and additional packages with the mountpoint of the destination device as the root for its operations. This method is useful when installing Arch Linux onto USB flash drives, or onto a temporarily mounted device which belongs to another system. Regardless of the selected installation type, further actions need to be taken before the new system is ready for use, most notably by installing a bootloader and configuring the new system with a system name, network connection, language settings, and graphical user interface. The installation images come packaged with an experimental command line installer, archinstall, which can assist with installing Arch Linux.
gollark: Arch is largely based on binary packages. Packages target x86-64 microprocessors to assist performance on modern hardware. A ports/ebuild-like system is also provided for automated source compilation, known as the Arch Build System. Arch Linux focuses on simplicity of design, meaning that the main focus involves creating an environment that is straightforward and relatively easy for the user to understand directly, rather than providing polished point-and-click style management tools — the package manager, for example, does not have an official graphical front-end. This is largely achieved by encouraging the use of succinctly commented, clean configuration files that are arranged for quick access and editing. This has earned it a reputation as a distribution for "advanced users" who are willing to use the command line. The Arch Linux website supplies ISO images that can be run from CD or USB. After a user partitions and formats their drive, a simple command line script (pacstrap) is used to install the base system. The installation of additional packages which are not part of the base system (for example, desktop environments), can be done with either pacstrap, or Pacman after booting (or chrooting) into the new installation.
