archiving this now that arch has an installer
Basic arch installer with optional WM/DE install
- Boot into the Arch Linux iso
- Connect to the internet
- Partition your disks, and remember or write down where you want your mounts
- Format your partitions - home partition optional (mkfs.ext4 /dev/[PARTITION])
- Ensure you have an EFI partition that's formatted in fat32 on your install drive (fdisk gpt type 1 / mkfs.vfat -F 32 /dev/[PARTITION])
- Run the following commands:
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/winghugs/arch/master/install.sh
chmod +x install.sh
./install.sh
The installer will take you through the rest.
Timezone is automatically set to pacific.
There's plenty of features that could be added, but I'd rather just have a quick and dirty option for those who just are tired of going through all the steps.
