fungal_net wroteWelcome nevertheless.
It seems that the father of Obarun has gone on a trip and is not in contact for some days, JM I don't know ??, and I don't use irc at all.
Weren't there other users, usually the experienced ones know how to help. You must have tried in a bad day :)
A chroot installation wiki would be a good idea, I've basically written it here a few times.
Also you can use the installer and install the minimal base then build it up through chroot.
What I do after I make a new partition is mount it at /mnt
From obarun live
# mount /dev/sdxxx /mnt
# mkdir -p /mnt/var/lib/pacman
# pacman -Sy pacman -r /mnt
# pacman -S base linux or linux-lts ... arch-install-scripts -r /mnt (also base-devel if you are going to be building packages and using AUR)
# arch-chroot /mnt zsh
# genfstab -U >/etc/fstab
# passwd
# useradd "username"
# passwd "username"
# 66-tree -n boot
# 66-tree -ncE root
# 66-enable -t boot boot
# 66-enable -t root ......tty@ tty1 ... (look at the wiki intro to 66)
fix grub or syslinux (bootloaders)
# edit /etc/66/boot.conf
Ready for reboot
When you first boot and log in run pacman-key --init and then pacman -Syu to make sure pacman is ready to install whatever you like.
Let me know if you want any help.
For efi-boot configuration look at the wiki for efi bootloading configuration.
ok so i have tested this just a few hours ago and i had issues completing the install.
- it looks like i cannot create initramfs using mkinitcpio because the /etc/mkinitcpio.d is emply. i had to use pacstrap /mnt linux instead of just pacman -S linux -r /mnt
- pacman-ket --init is not enough. i needed to run pacman-key --populate so i can run pacman without gpg errors. I would want to run pacman-key --refresh-keys but that is causing errors.
my intent was to make unattended installs like i do with other arch or void installs.
