Build the Environment

1.VMware Workstation 10.0.1 build-1379776

2. Archlinux-2015.09.01-dual.iso

first set up the virtual machine, my network settings are selected (NAT).

Open the virtual machine, boot up with CD-ROM, and reach the boot interface.

Running Boot Arch Linux (i686)

I chose the i686, which is 32-bit mode.

The LiveCD will automatically log in as the root user.

1 Building Partitions

The following command runs FDISK:

# FDISK/DEV/SDA

Then create the first partition:

Command (M for help): Enter N and press ENTER

Partition type:select (Default p): Press Enter

Partition number (1-4, default 1): Press Enter

Sector (2048-209715199, default2048): Press Enter

Last sector, +sectors or +size{k,m,g} (2048-209715199 ..., default 209715199): Enter +15g and press ENTER

Then create a second partition:

Command (M for help): Enter N and press ENTER

Partition type:select (Default p): Press Enter

Partition number (1-4, default 2): Press Enter

Sector (31459328-209715199, default31459328): Press Enter

Last sector, +sectors or +size{k,m,g} (31459328-209715199 ..., default 209715199): Press Enter

Now preview the new partition table:

Command (M for help): Enter P and press ENTER

disk/dev/sda:107.4 GB, 107374182400bytes, 209715200 sectors

Units = sectors of 1 * the bytes

Sector size (logical/physical): bytes/512 bytes

I/O size (minimum/optimal): bytes/512bytes

Disk identifier:0x5698d902

Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System

/DEV/SDA1 2048 31459327 15728640 Linux

/dev/sda2 31459328 209715199 89127936 Linux

Then write these changes to the disk:

Command (M for help): Enter W and press ENTER

If everything goes well without errors the Fdisk program will display the following information:

The partition table has been altered!

Calling IOCTL () to re-read partition table.

Syncing disks.

Only the root partitions and/home are divided here

Next, create the file system, taking the Ext4 file system as an example.

# MKFS.EXT4/DEV/SDA1

# Mkfs.ext4/dev/sda2

Mount Partition

Before you mount a partition, check the identifier and layout of the current disk:

Lsblk/dev/sda

Note to mount the root partition to the/mnt in order.

#mount/dev/sda1/mnt

Then mount the/home partition and the rest of the separate partitions (/boot,/var, etc.).

Mkdir/mnt/home

Mount/dev/sda2/mnt/home

Edit a mirrored source

Vim/etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

163 Source Address

Server = http://mirrors.163.com/archlinux/$repo/os/i686

Then upgrade the file list and change the configuration

Once you have changed the mirror list, be sure to remember to force the refresh using PACMAN-SYY

Pacman-syy

The following must be changed, especially siglevel = Never, otherwise there will be a signature error keyring

#vim/etc/pacman.conf

[Options]

Change the previous option to this

RootDir =/mnt

DBPath =/mnt/var/lib/pacman/

Cachedir =/mnt/var/cache/pacman/pkg/

LogFile =/mnt/var/log/pacman.log

Gpgdir =/mnt/etc/pacman.d/gnupg/

Siglevel = Never

Behind

Core, Extra, community

Siglevel = packagerequired before add # comment out

To install the basic system using the Pacstrap script:

# pacstrap/mnt Base Base-devel

Generate Fstab

Generate fstab with the command below. If you want to use UUIDs, use the-u option, and if you want to use a label, use the-l option.

# genfstab-u-p/mnt >>/mnt/etc/fstab

# Nano/mnt/etc/fstab

chroot to the new system

#arch-chroot/mnt configuration system localization

#vi/etc/locale.gen

Select the type of localization you need, and remove the front #

en_US. UTF-8 UTF-8

en_GB. UTF-8 UTF-8

Zh_cn. GB18030 GB18030

Zh_cn. GBK GBK

Zh_cn. UTF-8 UTF-8

ZH_CN GB2312

And then run:

# Locale-gen

After each glibc update, the Locale-gen is run once, and the localized files specified by/etc/locale.gen are regenerated.

locale.conf file default does not exist, generally set Lang on the line, it is the default value of other settings.

/etc/locale.conf

Lang=zh_cn. UTF-8

LC_TIME=EN_GB. UTF-8

Configuring the system time zone

-------------------------------

# Vim/etc/timezone

Asia/shanghai

# ln-s/usr/share/zoneinfo/asia/shanghai/etc/localtime

set host name by preference:

# echo Myhostname >/etc/hostname

Note: There is no need to edit/etc/hosts now.

Configure a network for a new system

It is important to configure the network, which is configured for the new system installed.

Install NetworkManager and start the service

------------------------------------------------------

# pacman-s NetworkManager

# Systemctl Enable Networkmanager.service

PS: The default installation of the network, need to start: Dhcpcd@<interface>.service, it seems not very easy to use, here I directly loaded NetworkManager.

set a root password with passwd

passwd

Install configuration boot loader

It's also important to install grub, which is when you reboot, you need to select the system

-------------------------------

Pacman-s Grub

# Grub-install--TARGET=I386-PC--RECHECK/DEV/SDA

# cp/usr/share/locale/en\ @quot/lc_messages/grub.mo/boot/grub/locale/en.mo

# pacman-s Os-prober

# Grub-mkconfig-o/boot/grub/grub.cfg

uninstall partitions and reboot the system

If you are still in the chroot environment, first exit the system with the Exit command:

# exit

Uninstall the system that is mounted in the/MNT:

#umount-R/mnt

Reboot: Reboot

at this point, a minimal installation of arch has been completed

Install the graphical interface, which can be installed after the arch minimum installation is completed

Install desktop

Pacman-s Lxde (or pacman-sgnome-core this choice, KDE, GNOME, LXDE or can choose Openbox, awesome, etc. wm)

After the installation is complete, copy the 3 files in the/etc/xdg/openbox to ~/.config/openbox:

Mkdir-p ~/.config/openbox

Cp/etc/xdg/openbox/menu.xml/etc/xdg/openbox/rc.xml/etc/xdg/openbox/autostart ~/.config/openbox

To set up a program that starts automatically

Open the/etc/xdg/lxsession/lxde/autostart with your favorite editor and add the program you want to start automatically, just like this:

@xscreensaver-no-splash

@lxpanel--profile LXDE

@pcmanfm-D

@fcitx

@xcompmgr-ss-n-CC-FF-I-10-O-10-D1-T-3-L-4-R4 &

Start the desktop environment

Using the Login Manager

By starting the Login manager (or the display manager), you can log in with the graphical interface. Currently, Arch provides SYSTEMD service files for GDM, KDM, SLiM, XDM, and Lxdm. Take KDM as an example, configure boot startup:

# Systemctl Enable Lxdm.service

After you execute the above command, the login manager should work correctly.

At this point, after the reboot, you should be able to enter the graphical interface
