Installing ArchLinux
Install Prep
Review the documentation and download the boot media
Before getting started you'll probably want to review the ArchLinux install guide and download the latest iso image. I copied the image to a USB drive mounted as /dev/sdf:
$ sudo dd if=Downloads/archlinix_install_image.iso of=/dev/sdf
After this, the USB was inserted into the motherboard, the system powered and the USB selected as the boot device via BIOS. After startup of the live image, Arch offers up a root prompt.
Confirm networking
Confirm you have network access by pinging google or something else. Use ifconfig to determine the local IP.
Enable ssh daemon
There is really no need to do an install by typing out command after command, so an ssh session is necessary and sufficient. In order to get this set up, the first step is to set the root password
# passwd
And then start the sshd service
# systemctl start sshd
You can then ssh into the system from another computer on your network, preferably one with internet access so you can copy-and-paste commands from the install guide or this wiki.
