ArchLinux Installation Configuration Guide 2015-05-24

Because of the Linode VPS system is archlinux, want to get a local system to do testing, so it is more convenient. Then found themselves in 6 years ago to do a ArchLinux installation configuration flash, good memory of the bright. When I moved in, I didn't think ArchLinux now has a wizard installed. It is no longer applicable.

Pre-Installation Preparation

Download the installation CD

https://www.archlinux.org/download/

Start the disc and enter the system

1. Partitioning the hard drive

To view a hard disk partition using the FDISK-L command

Where/DEV/SDA is the target disk we need to install.

Cfdisk to Partition

Cfdisk/dev/sda

Choose a second

Create a swap partition and primary partition

Write to disk and exit later using Fdisk-l will find out two more disks

Format a disk with MKFS.EXT4

Mkfs.ext4/dev/sda2

Mount our master hard drive to the/MNT directory

Mount/dev/sda2/mnt

Formatting swap partitions

Mkswap/dev/sda1

Enable Swap disk

Swapon/dev/sda1

2. Installing the System

The first step is to determine if the network is smooth. Arch is a network-based installation.

Then select the local source

Vim/etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

Install basic functionality into/MNT

PACSTRAP/MNT Base Base-devel

3. Configuration

First chroot to/mnt.

Arch-chroot/mnt

First create a new password for the root user

passwd

Set the supported character set, remove some Chinese comments, and then remove the two English en_US Vim/etc/locale.gen

After editing, execute locale.gen.

Setting the time zone

Ln–s/user/share/zoneinfo/asia/shanghai/etc/localtime

Set hostname

echo Bihell >/etc/hostname

Installing the Boot Manager

Pacman–s Grub-bios

Installation boot

Grub-install/dev/sda

Installing kernel Mirroring

Mkinitcpio–p Linux

Update GRUB Configuration

Grub-mkconfig–o/boot/grub/grub.cfg

Enable DHCP

Systemctl Enable Dhcpcd.service

Finally exit the chroot environment and generate the partition table

Exit

Genfstab/mnt >>/mnt/etc/fstab

Uninstall MNT and reboot from the hard drive.

Umount/mnt

Reboot
