Builds an updated Arch Linux ISO, with added packages, a custom installer, and `diskviz` for disk partitioning.
|
||||
|
||||
### How to download
|
||||
Download the latest ISO from [releases](https://github.com/georgeabr/arch-iso/releases), assets.
|
||||
File names should be like this - `archlinux-2025.05.28-x86_64.iso`.
|
||||
Download the latest ISO from [releases](https://github.com/georgeabr/arch-iso/releases), assets.
|
||||
File names should be like this - `archlinux-cli-2026.08.13-x86_64.iso` (or `archlinux-xfce-2026.08.13-x86_64.iso` for the XFCE build).
|
||||
|
||||
### How to use
|
||||
Use `bash arch.sh` to start the custom installer.
|
||||
On login, a banner points you to the two custom tools. `arch.sh` is already executable, so just run it directly - no `chmod` needed:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
bash arch.sh
|
||||
./arch.sh
|
||||
```
|
||||
Installation is logged to a timestamped file, for example `install-20250418_1431.log`.
|
||||
Installation is logged to a timestamped file, for example `install-20260813_1431.log`.
|
||||
Use `tail -f` to monitor installation from another console.
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
tail -f install-20250418_1431.log
|
||||
tail -f install-20260813_1431.log
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Partitioning with `diskviz`
|
||||
Before running the installer, use `diskviz` to inspect and partition your disks:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
diskviz
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Connect via SSH from another computer
|
||||
- set password for `root` user from live ISO with `passwd`
|
||||
- get IP address with `ip a`
|
||||
- connect from other computer:
|
||||
`ssh root@ip-address`
|
||||
|
||||
### Use `XFCE` releases for a graphical installation
|
||||
- use `startx` from the console to get to the GUI
|
||||
- use `gparted` to partition disks
|
||||
- use `gparted`, or `diskviz` from a terminal, to partition disks
|
||||
- from a console:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
chmod +x arch.sh; ./arch.sh
|
||||
./arch.sh
|
||||
```
