Keyboard layout changed.
ls /usr/share/kbd/keymaps/**/*.map.gz
loadkeys uk.map.gz
Check if boot mode is UEFI
ls /sys/firmware/efi/efivars
Without efivars, the system must boot with BIOS.
Check network's up
ping archlinux.org
Set system clock properly
timedatectl set-ntp true
Check disks
lsblk
Make partition
parted -s /dev/sda mkpart primary ext2 2512 100%
parted -s /dev/sda set 1 boot on
Use pacstrap to get the base install.
mount /dev/sda3 /mnt/
mkdir /mnt/home
mkdir /mnt/boot
mount /dev/sda3 /mnt/home
mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/boot
pacstrap /mnt base base-devel vim linux linux-firmware
Make fstab notes for new system.
genfstab -U /mnt >> /mnt/etc/fstab
arch-chroot /mnt
echo 'en_GB.UTF-8' > /etc/default/locale
pacman -Sy networkmanager grub
For legacy:
grub-install --target=i386-pc /dev/sda
For EFI:
sudo pacman -S efibootmgr
mkdir /boot/efi
grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot/efi --bootloader-id=GRUB --remmovable
grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
set local time
ln -sf /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Belgrade /etc/localtime
Find the desired locale's and uncomment them.
vi /etc/locale.gen
locale-gen
Make your keyboard changes permenent with:
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
echo pc > /etc/hostname
Set hostnames for network, or at least your own.
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
passwd
exit
umount -R /mnt
Remove retarded beep sound:
sudo echo "blacklist pcspkr" >> /etc/modprobe.d/nobeep.conf
rmmod pcspkr

sudo pacman -S ttf-hack ttf-font-awesome ttf-fira-mono
