# Let's start.
|
|
|
|
This assumes your target disk is /dev/sda, you are running UEFI, you want rEFInd because it's cool, you are wired into ethernet for the install process, you use US keyboard, and mostly understand english
|
|
|
|
Alternatively, check out [our installer](https://git.fosc.space/fosc/fosc-arch-installer)
|
|
|
|
## Partitioning
|
|
|
|
cgdisk /dev/sda
|
|
|
|
/dev/sda1 200M (ef00) /boot
|
|
/dev/sda2 $REST_OF_HDD (8300) /
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
mkfs.vfat -F 32 /dev/sda1
|
|
mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda2
|
|
|
|
mount /dev/sda2 /mnt
|
|
mkdir /mnt/boot
|
|
mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/boot
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Actual install
|
|
Install all packages needed (add what you need!)
|
|
|
|
`pacstrap -i /mnt base base-devel refind-efi xorg-server gnome gnome-extra firefox networkmanager htop zsh grml-zsh-config`
|
|
|
|
`genfstab -U /mnt >> /mnt/etc/fstab`
|
|
|
|
## Get in there to configure
|
|
|
|
`arch-chroot /mnt /bin/zsh`
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
echo "en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8" > /etc/locale.gen
|
|
echo LANG=en_US.UTF-8 > /etc/locale.conf
|
|
|
|
locale-gen
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Users
|
|
```
|
|
passwd
|
|
chsh root -s /bin/zsh
|
|
|
|
useradd -m -G wheel -s /bin/zsh user
|
|
passwd user
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Enable services
|
|
|
|
```systemctl enable NetworkManager gdm```
|
|
|
|
## Bootloader
|
|
|
|
`refind-install`
|
|
|
|
## Kernel cmdline
|
|
Basically edit your boot options to be 'rw root=/dev/sda2', as sometimes rEFInd doesn't make this automatically
|
|
|
|
`nano /boot/refind_linux.conf`
|
|
|
|
## Git out
|
|
|
|
`exit`
|
|
`reboot` |
