|
|
## Keyboard layout
|
|
```bash
|
|
loadkeys de_CH-latin1
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Check UEFI mode
|
|
If the following command works, the system is booted in EFI.
|
|
```bash
|
|
ls /sys/firmware/efi/efivars
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Verify internet connection
|
|
```bash
|
|
ping realstickman.net
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Update system clock
|
|
```bash
|
|
timedatectl set-ntp true
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Creating partitions
|
|
```bash
|
|
cfdisk
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Format partitions
|
|
Fat 32:
|
|
```bash
|
|
mkfs.fat -F32 /dev/(partition)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Ext4:
|
|
```bash
|
|
mkfs.ext4 /dev/(partition)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Mounting partitions
|
|
Generally partitions have to be mounted where you will later use them in your system.
|
|
|
|
Root: /mnt
|
|
EFI: /mnt/boot
|
|
~~Home: /mnt/home~~
|
|
|
|
## Creating swapfile
|
|
```bash
|
|
dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/swapfile bs=1M count=(size) status=progress
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
chmod 600 /mnt/swapfile
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
mkswap /mnt/swapfile
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
swapon /mnt/swapfile
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Essential packages
|
|
Some things like the userspace utilities for file management will vary.
|
|
See [file systems](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/File_systems#Types_of_file_systems)
|
|
```bash
|
|
pacstrap /mnt base linux linux-firmware vim dosfstools e2fsprogs git openssh networkmanager network-manager-applet dialog mtools base-devel linux-headers
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Generate fstab
|
|
```bash
|
|
genfstab -U /mnt >> /mnt/etc/fstab
|
|
```
|
|
IMPORTANT: Make sure the fstab file has everything included
|
|
|
|
## Chroot into the system
