arch install script

Installs archlinux with a custom GNOME-stack.

1. boot archlinux iso

• Set the keyboard layout

localectl list-keymaps lists all available options.

For example, run loadkeys de-latin1 to set a German keyboard layout.

• Verify the boot mode

If UEFI mode is enabled on an UEFI motherboard, Archiso will boot Arch Linux accordingly via systemd-boot. To verify this, list the efivars directory:

$ ls /sys/firmware/efi/efivars

If the directory does not exist, the system may be booted in BIOS or CSM mode.

2. get the scripts

$ wget https://github.com/luk43/AIS/archive/master.tar.gz && tar xvf master.tar.gz
$ cd AIS-master/

• change your locale settings in the "install.sh" script to your needs
• change software to your preference in "scripts/user_application.sh" (e.g you don't want GNOME)*optional

3. install

$ ./install.sh

further notes

• there is only one disk used (sda)
• sda has to be completely wiped (function to wipe is included in the installation)
• make sure you have network connection through ethernet
• you will give the size of rootvol and swapvol and rest goes to homevol
• have fun! :D
