Arch Installation
===
Partition your disks
---
1. EFI System Partition
- 512MB
- FAT32
> mkfs.fat -F32 /dev/sdxY
2. Root Partition
- Choose whatever file system you want, BUT if you choose to make it
BTRFS you will need a separate partition for your swap since
BTRFS doesn't play well with swap files.
- If you want different file systems on different partitions you can
choose to make separate partitions for /boot, /home, or any
folder you choose. I don't recommend this, unless you need it,
as it might create problems with storage later on.
- I use LVM inside a LUKS volume, check the arch wiki if you want
that.
Mount the Partitions
---
Mount the partitions you just made
```
# lsblk
# mount /dev/sdXY /mnt
```
Where X is the partition letter, and Y is the partition number of root
Pacstrap
---
##### Edit your mirrorlist
Put the mirror that is closest to you at the
top
```
# vim /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
```
##### Connect to the Internet
```
# wifi-menu
```
##### Pacstrap
```
# pacstrap /mnt base base-devel vim
```
> vim, because vim is awesome
Might take a while, depending on your download speed
Install Boot loader
---
I recommend grub, if you use something else that's on you.
##### CHROOT
```
# arch-chroot /mnt /bin/bash
```
##### Mount your EFI System partition
```
# mkdir /boot/esp
# mount /dev/sdXY /boot/esp
```
##### Install Grub
```
# grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot/esp --bootloader-id=grub
# grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
```
