I use arch btw.

Steps involved in installing arch linux.

• Assumptions:

  • Live OS is available and able to connect to internet.

1. Creatng Partition

   $ fdisk -l
   
   Disk /dev/sda: 40 GiB, 42949672960 bytes, 83886080 sectors
   Disk model: VBOX HARDDISK   
   Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
   Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
   I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
   Disklabel type: dos
   Disk identifier: 0xffa9e3c6
   
   $ fdisk /dev/sda

   create a primary partion. Lets assume /dev/sda1

   Format partition as ext4.

   $ mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda1

2. Mount partitions.

   $ mount /dev/sda1 /mnt

   In case you have a partition for home, usr etc.

   $ mkdir /mnt/home 
   $ mount /dev/sda2 /mnt/home

3. Install essential packages [ along with editor and network manager ].

   $ pacstrap /mnt base linux vim networkmanager

4. Configurations.

   define your partition mounts.

   genfstab -U /mnt >> /mnt/etc/fstab

5. Locale, Network - hostname & hosts , Time updates

6. Bootloader

   $ pacman -S grub
   $ grub-install --target=i386-pc /dev/sda
   $ grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

7. exit from chroot and reboot.

To i3 and beyond.

$ pacman -S xorg-xinit xorg i3

• chose i3wm
• set .xinitrc , i3 configs [ in this repo]

$ paccman -S rxvt-unicode rxvt-unicode-terminfo 
# copy .Xdefaults from here.
$ xrdb -merge .Xdefaults
