This blog post is a collection of notes, for installing a modern Archlinux system.
Networking
I had a minor problem with the networking. It simply required restarting the dhcpd service for the given interface:
systemctl restart dhcpd@enp2s0.service
Partitioning
The system has a 250G drive(Shows as 232G), and is GPT with the following scheme:
| Size | Type | Mount point |
| 200M | EFI System | ...? |
| 50G | Linux | / |
| 80G | Linux | /var |
| 102G | Linux | /home |
Suggestions found at: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/partitioning
Base package installation
pacstrap -i /mnt base base-devel
Needs to remove reiserfsprogs(maybe also xfsprogs,jfsutils) after installation.
Maybe stupid question but why libldap, libsasl and openssl ? openssl is pretty basic yes, but why in the base system?
Generating /etc/fstab
Should /boot come before /var and /home or does is at all matter to spend time mounting boot when using UEFI? Of course it should be mounted when doing sysupgrades, but otherwise?
More updates to come!
More updates to come!
