install_walkthrough.txt

arch-linux install
from iso (thumb drive, boot usb)

NETWORK
ping -c 2 [some uri]
  check if connectivity exists
ip link
  check if network available
ip link set up [net interface]
  ability to set network interface "up"
  only if one is not active
wifi-menu [net interface]
  possible wifi setup (untested)

HARD DRIVE
lsblk
  shows available hard drives
cfdisk /dev/[drive]
  format or partition hard drive
  make a root
  make a home
  make a swap [optional]
  write the changes
lsblk /dev/[drive]
  shows partitions for the drive
mkfs.ext4 /dev/[partition]
  formats the partition to ext4 format

MOUNT PARTITIONS
mkswap /dev/[swap partition]
  marks the partition as a swap partition
  clearly this is only done if a swap was created
swapon /dev/[swap partition]
  mounts the swap partition as a swap
  clearly this is only done if a swap was created
mount /dev/[root partition] /mnt
  mounts the root partition under "/mnt"
mkdir -p /mnt/home
  creates the home directory
mount /dev/[home partition] /mnt/home
  mounts the home partition under "/mnt/home"

SETUP MIRROR (PACMAN)
vi /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

INSTALL BASE TO ROOT
pacstrap -i /mnt base base-devel
  bootstrap pacman to install the base packages
  and development packages to the root (or "/mnt")

GENERATE FILE SYSTEM
genfstab -U -p /mnt >> /mnt/etc/fstab
  generates the file system table file using UUIDs
cat /mnt/etc/fstab
  review the results

BASH IT UP
arch-chroot /mnt /bin/bash

SETUP LOCALE
vi /etc/locale.gen
  select the locale (uncomment choice)
locale-gen
  generates the locale (can generate multiple)
export LANG=[generated locale]
  sets the locale
echo [locale] > /etc/locale

SETUP TIMEZONE
ls -l /usr/share/zoneinfo
  list the available time zones
ln -sf /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/New_York /etc/localtime
  link the desired time zone to local time
export TZ=America/New_York

SETUP HARDWARE CLOCK
hwclock --systohc --utc
  sets the hardware clock to UTC

SETUP HOST NAME
echo [name] > /etc/hostname
  write the hostname file
vi /etc/hosts
  add the name to the end of each entry
  resolve the loopback entries

CONFIGURE NETWORK (DHCP)
ip link
  view the available interfaces
systemctl enable dhcpcd@[interface].service
  ensures the available interface is up upon boot

CONFIGURE NETWORK (WIFI)
pacman -S dialog
  install dialog (support for wifi-menu)
pacman -S iw wpa_supplicant
  install wifi-menu
  helps with setup if wireless card available
pacman -S wpa_actiond
  install auto connect to known networks (wifi)
systemctl enable netctl-auto@[interface].service
  ensures auto connect upon boot

SETUP PASSWORD
passwd
  duh

SETUP BOOTLOADER
pacman -S syslinux
  install syslinux bootloader
  clearly other bootloaders can be installed (pref)
pacman -S gptfdisk
  required for syslinux
  may not work if dual boot with windows legacy
syslinux-install_update -i -a -m
  sets up the boot sector automatically
vi /boot/syslinux/syslinux.cfg
  configure syslinux
  update "arch" label to point to "root" partition

exit
reboot
[login as root]

ADD USER (YOU, NOT ROOT)
useradd -m -G [groupname] -s /bin/bash [username]
passwd [username]

BYPASS SUDO (OPTIONAL)
vi /etc/sudoers
  enter username to "sudo" list
  [username] ALL=(ALL) ALL
  [groupname] ALL=(ALL) ALL
  => if file is readonly ::-> w!

exit
[login as you]
