Tutorial how to install Arch Linux with full disk encryption on GPD Pocket
If you want to use an unmodified ArchISO (from https://archlinux.org ) go to the old guide. The following guide is for the custom ISO with preloaded drivers, settings and help files.
- The custom ISO has not yet been released and will be released shortlyDownload the ISO from the Releases section of this repository.
Flash it to a USB Stick 2GB or more. It can be USB2 or USB3 it doesn't matter. I suggest using etcher.io if you are unsure how to do this.
For more advanced methods see the Arch Wiki
Plug your USB stick with arch into the USB-A (regular usb port)
While you boot spam the Del key to get into the UEFI menu if you have problems try without the charger
Hit left once to go to the Save and Exit, use the up arrow key to find the USB stick and boot from it.
Ethernet should just work, but it is only suggested if you have a USB-C dock or hub, with charging. If you connected the ehternet cable or network card after you booted you may need to run. systemctl restart dhcpcd
For extensive information on connecting via see the Arch Wiki. For condensed instructions read on.
Check if your wireless card is up.
ip link show wlp1s0
If its not up, you can activate it.
ip link set wlp1s0 up
To see what access points are available.
iw dev wlp1s0 scan | less
Connect to a WPA/WPA2 network
wpa_supplicant -i wlp1s0 -c <(wpa_passphrase "your_SSID" "your_key")
If you want to be able to copy paste the commands from another PC using SSH follow the page on SSH before you continue.
