New page

Here are my steps.

1. Boot in to Arch ISO.

2. Update date time.
timedatectl set-ntp true

3. Setup Partitions

3.a Use lsblk or fdisk -l to find the path of the harddisk.
/dev/sda

3.b Start up fdisk to format a harddisk.

fdisk /dev/sda

Remember to change the type for swap to hex '82' or swap

sda1 - primary - Linux - boot - 1gb
sda2 - primary - Linux swap - swap - 1.5 x memmory
sda3 - primary - Linux - root - The rest.

3.c When all the partitions are setup use 'w' to apply the changes.

w

4. Format the new partitions.

mkfs.ext2 /dev/sda1
mkswap /dev/sda2
mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda3

5. Mount the new file partitioned file systems and turn swap on.

mount /dev/sda3 /mnt
mount --mkdir /dev/sda1 /mnt/boot

swapon /dev/sda2
