![]() ![]() In this place the system root password, add user, change locale configuration and also install the grub to boot the linux. This is to change to the actual system installed in the /dev/sda1 from the live cd. Nano is not a package in base, hence i explicitly install this in order to make changes to the config files easily, I am not good in vi. Pacstrap /mnt base base-devel linux linux-firmware nano Install these packages base, linux, linux-firmware. Write the ext4 filesystem to /dev/sda1, before mounting to /mnt. Lsblk shows the partition of the hard disk, in my lab I only have created sda1 which is shown below. Write filesystem and mount the partition to mnt. “the partition table has been altered” after successful write.Īfter the changes select quit to exit cfdisk. this is to ensure you have actually thought about the set up before writing changes to your hard drive. You need to type in the full word “yes” or “no”. Lastly, I chose write so that all above will be written to the hard disk. I chose New, then chose Primary, then chose bootable, an asterix will appear under Boot, looks like this. The harddisk which I will be partition and format. I am using the legacy mode bios not the UEFI, hence I choose dos not gpt. The more common partitions I saw is to create three partition, such as /dev/sda1 for “/boot”, /dev/sda2 for “/” another is /dev/sda3 for swap, however recently I found that swap is not really necessary as Arch is very light weight the free softwares I will be installing are very light weight and besides my laptop has enough memory to run the programs and my virtual machine is not going to do any rendering. My setup for the virtual machine in virtual box is not going to be overly complicated, there are guides that introduce different partitions for various directories, but on this note everything will be in “/” in one partition. There is no installation guide wizard here, anything you need to do here has to do by typing commands. This is a personal note for me if I need to install Arch Linux on virtual box again.Īrch Linux is unlike Linux Mint, it only comes with a shell after installation you will need to install the software you need by using pacman. ![]()
