Hello, iam in the making of artix install script. I start with setting variables in dialog like bootloader="refind" and etc. but when i do artix-chroot into chroot.sh script variables are gone.

right now i have something like this:

cp ${pwd}execution/chroot.sh /mnt/mnt &&
            USER="$USER" USER_PASSWORD1="$USER_PASSWORD1" USER_PASSWORD2="$USER_PASSWORD2"\
            ROOT_PASSWORD1="$ROOT_PASSWORD1" ROOT_PASSWORD2="$ROOT_PASSWORD2"\
            BOOTLOADER="$BOOTLOADER" SUPERUSER="$SUPERUSER" HOSTNAME="$HOSTNAME"\
            LOCALE="$LOCALE" ENCRYPTION="$ENCRYPTION" ROOT="$ROOT" ESP="$ESP"\
            KERNEL="$KERNEL" UCODE="$UCODE"
        artix-chroot /mnt bash -c '/mnt/chroot.sh && execute_root' 

But it does not really work, tried also some things like:

# create array of variables to pass to part 2
var_export=($formfactor $threadsminusone $gpu $boot $disk0 $username $userpassword $timezone $swap $intel_vaapi_driver $res_x $res_y_half)

# initiate part 2
mount --bind /root/artix-install-script /mnt/mnt
artix-chroot /mnt /mnt/chrootInstall.sh "${var_export[@]}"

and then in chroot.sh

# Importing Variables
args=("$@")
formfactor=${args[0]}
threadsminusone=${args[1]}
gpu=${args[2]}
boot=${args[3]}
disk=${args[4]}
username=${args[5]}
userpassword=${args[6]}
timezone=${args[7]}
swap=${args[8]}
intel_vaapi_driver=${args[9]}
res_x=${args[10]}
res_y_half=${args[11]}

still not they best way, kinda messy and buggy.

THANKS FOR HELP!

It's still very much a work in progress, but in my biased opinion, it already doesn't look too shabby!
