```bash
|

arch-chroot /mnt
|
|
```
|
|

```

|
|
sudo pacman -S efibootmgr
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
mkdir /boot/efi
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot/efi --bootloader-id=GRUB --remmovable
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```bash
|

Make your keyboard changes permenent with:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
vi /etc/vconsole.conf
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Then set: `KEYMAP=uk.map.gz`
|
|
unsure about this bit - is this name just for the loadkeys function?
|
|
|
|
Make a hostname
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
echo pc > /etc/hostname
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Set hostnames for network, or at least your own.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
vi /etc/hosts
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
# This should have the following, at least:
|
|
|
|
127.0.0.1 localhost
|
|
::1 localhost
|
|
127.0.1.1 [hostname].localdomain [hostname]
|
|
|
|
If the system has a permanent IP address, it should be used instead of localhost.
|
|
|
|
Ping some sites to make sure the network's working
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
passwd
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
exit
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
umount -R /mnt
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Remove that awful beep sound:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
rmmod pcspkr
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
...and make the change permanent:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo echo "blacklist pcspkr" >> /etc/modprobe.d/nobeep.conf
|
|
```
|
