How to install only, BUT ONLY what i need in Arch Linux?

Well, when i install BASE package (selecting only: tar, vi, linux), I got an error: Saying that /sbin/init is not on the folder. (I checked up and i figured out that the file is in /usr/sbin/init). And when i made fstab files the kernel does not detect some partitions, i want to know what i have to install to solve that?
I'm really perfeccionist, so, i have no interest to install the whole base package. Anyway, i hope you could help me, and THANKS!

Thanks for the daily irony.
What commands did you actually execute, there is not nearly enough information here.  If you only installed tar vi and linux you would not have anything remotely close to a working system.
You'd need filesystem tools, and (unless you're really a masochist) an init system, a shell, and if this is going to be anything that could be called archlinux, you'd need the pacman package manager.  There are certainly some other essential things I haven't bothered to take the time to think of, then of course each of these things has dozens of dependencies.
There are a few (very few) packages from the base group that you can not install and still have a working system.
EDIT: perhaps you should try LFS.

  • How to install only Garageband from OS 10.6 install discs?

    Hi. I recently got a new Mac with OS 10.6.2. It came with the iLife Apps installed.For reasons I won't get into ......I had to try to install the older iMovie 08 (which I believe had some sound files connected to Garageband).After attempting that install.....I noticed that garageband had dissappeared.......the icon both in the dock and in applications had dissappeared.
    So I believe I need to reinstall Garageband.........but not sure if its on install disc 1 or 2 and how I install only Garageband and not the other iApps? Thanks for any help.

  • How to install only Roxio CD Burner Program from the Recovery CDs?

    I bought a T400 a few weeks ago in Korea.
    But my company uses English, so I had to install a Windows XP English version.
    However, at that time I lost the Roxio software.
    I have the recovery CDs for T400 Windows XP PRO SP2.
    If it is possible, then please let me know how to install only Roxio CD Burner Programs from the Recovery CDs.
    Thanks.

    Hello,
    unfortunately it´s not possible to install just one program from recovery cd´s.
    But on Lenovo support pages, there you should find your software and applications.
    Please visit with IE and let autodetect your system.
    Then you should able to choose which type of software is availible for you.
    Choose CD and DVD drives.
    Hopefully the T400 department is up to date now.

    how to install only windows 7 on macbook4,1?
    i have windows 7 dvd, i want to install windows 7 only and does not want to keep  msc os 10.5.8. currently i do not have any cd or DVD which came with my macbook. So i need to know:
    1- how i install windows 7?
    2- 32bit or 64bit windows?
    3- after installing how to get drivers of my macbook?

    There is no disc of Mountain Lion, and if there were it would not contain drivers, those  are on your original OSX disc (the one that came with the machine) or you can download them using Boot Camp Assistant.
    You will need a 64 bit copy of Windows, OEM or retail.

  • What source base the Arch Linux Xorg build from?

    I need a complete package of X windows system installed. No idea which directory the Arch Linux X11 install to.
    Only find  below with "find"
    /usr/share/X11
    /usr/lib/ghostscript/8.64/X11.so
    /usr/lib/X11
    /usr/include/X11
    /var/cache/man/X11R6
    /etc/X11
    So I try to get some souce by http://xorg.freedesktop.org/wiki/Releases/7.4
    I found its x server is only 1.5.1 and Arch Linux is 1.6.1(show when pacman -S xorg)
    I really confused.
    Actually what I need is pretty simple, need a xdm and xdm-configure to enable XDMCP so that I can remote connecct to X.
    (I tried KDE and GNOME, it doesn't work because X)
    Anybody can give me a clue?
    Thanks very much,

  • How to install only iMovie from oringinal install discs?

    Hi.I recently got a new Mac running 10.6 and Rosetta. Since I have lots of 3rd party plug-ins that I used with iMovie 5........I would like to install just iMovie 5. I have the original install discs for 10.2 as well as upgrade install discs for 10.4. I'm wondering which disc iMovie 5 is on (the dics are not labeled very well-they dont say which disc includes iLife software) and how to I go about only installing it? Thanks for any help.

    Thanks for the info.........looks like Pacifist may be what I need to select only iMovie 5 from the Disc. Would you happen to know which disc I would find iMovie 5 on? I have the 2 OS 10.2 discs(1&2)
    and two 10.4 upgrade discs(1&2). I suppose I could just pop each one in and see what happens.........but I'm a bit worried in case the disc tries to install the compleat older OS over top my newer OS before I can stop it.I've tried looking in the supplemental info that came with the discs.....but still can't find any info about which disc iLife is found on.Wish they would label the discs clearly.

  • How to install only selected version of packages for stability ?

    i want a stable distro. but i also dont want leave arch and its aur. so i want to install only stable version for all packages. the version number can be know from http://ftp.slackware.com/pub/slackware/ … CKAGES.TXT  or  http://packages.debian.org/stable/allpa … mat=txt.gz or own expieriance. so it would make my arch more stable.
    right now i can think of one way to achive this, by create another repositery and disabling all others including core extra community etc.
    so which one is more feasible different repositery or different, stable distro (may be slack).
    thanks

    How do you measure that stability?
    in infinitely stable system, binary will only do what they are supposed to do. thats what is desirable. one way to find out the stability is testing for a period of time. and i heard slackware and debian stable are most tested distro so thats why i chose their packages.txt.
    i am ignoring their interference with upstream packages and assuming it has zero effect on stability. however feel free to shatter my assumption.
    Arch is a rolling release; it is predicated on moving with upstream.
    it does not matter the only requirement is that the required version of the pacages should exist somewhere. with the proposed changes it would not be rolling anymore, at least apparantly.
    Depends how much work you want to put into it. I expect that in turn depends on the issues you believe have been caused by arch's alleged lack of stability, and you haven't said anything about them.
    Given your apparent determination to stay with Arch, it's odd that you included the option to change distro in your question, but it's the option I would recommend to you. If you decide to persist with Arch, here's a previous attempt to inspire you.
    the point is i dont have to do much work. most of the work is testing, which is already done by big distros like slack, debian. i am just using their knowledge of most stable packages and applying that in arch. the only work i have to do is to automate the whole process of changing the database file.
    yes i am facing issue with my current arch, xfce-panel is crashing. there is fixed bitmap in my top left corner etc. but i dont want to spend my time debugging these problems. but i do want them dissappeared, hopefully the proposed change would do that.
    i think i am moving to slackware but without leaving arch. the only difference between them that matters is slackware is well tested distro and i think i am bringing that quality in my arch.
    the difference between archserver and arch is archserver provides more stability but not more than slackware. so i think i am not intrested in archserver.

  • How to install only application technology?

    Hi
    Actually, i installed database technology stack from rapidwiz in EBS R12.0.4 like $ . rapidwiz -techstack. And cloned only datadase from running ERP instance to another server keeping same directory structure and rman duplicate command. Now i would like install only application technology.Is it possible to install application technology and link it to this cloned database?
    Please help experts.
    Regards

    Hi Ateeq,
    First of all thanks. You're welcome!
    It is possible but what about $APPL_TOP and $COMMON_TOP?
    What does it mean? I mean, you when use "rapidwiz -techstack", it will install 10.1.2 and 10.1.3 ORACLE_HOME on the node where $RDBMS_ORACLE_HOME is installed and the database is already running. But, we still need to have $APPL_TOP and $COMMON_TOP on this machine, correct?
    Why do not you simply clone the application tier?
    I think, will go for this.I believe this is the best practice!
    Regards,

  • How to install ONLY Pages 09

    Since there is no methodology by which Numbers 09 can be disabled without uninstalling the whole thing, what would be the procedure to install ONLY pages 09 out of iWork 09? Or, can I uninstall ONLY Numbers 09?

    YES! the question of INOPERATIVE formula elements (there are several) between numbers 08 and 09 has been dragged into the ground. The majority of these concern use of the NEW definition of date and time however there are many that give error messages because the formula does not recognize a blank cell as being Zero.
    *Perfectly RIDICULOUS*
    I would be glad to see this thread. I guess that you read it wrongly.
    (1) *_The definition of date_time values didn't change. The application just offer a new type of item : duration._*
    Only the internal way to store the date_time values was changed but this change has no impact at the user level.
    (2) The changes about the treatment of blank cell is logical and as I requested it I feel that it's welcome.
    If you have formulas broken by this change it's easy to edit them.
    Now, if you don't want to run Numbers '09, just use the Finder's Archive menu item.
    You will get a file named Numbers.app.zip
    Then, trash Numbers.app
    Numbers will no longer run and, if a new update surface, it will be time to unpack the archive to revive the app to make the updater happy.
    An alternate scheme is to create a disk image and move Numbers.app in this one.
    Same scheme : as long as you don't deliberately open the disk image, the app will not run. If an update surface, drag the app from the disk image to its normal location.

  • How to install only iDVD from a start up disc

    I was trying to make a slideshow in iPhoto and burn the slideshow to a DVD in order to play it on a DVD player at my nephew's Eagle Scout Court of Honor.  I have OS X Lion 10.7.5 and have just realized that my system no longer has iDVD!   My sister has a mac mini OS version 10.4.7 and still has her install discs.  Can I install only iDVD onto my laptop from her start up disc and will iDVD be compatible with my OS?  I am not sure how to burn a DVD of this slideshow otherwise.  Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated as I am at my wits end!  Thank you.

    would iLife 11 be okay for that?
    Yes.  iLife 11 includes themes for iDVD 6 and iDVD 7 so you'll have a number to choose from.
    Follow this workflow to help assure the best qualty video DVD:
    Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image  menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.
    To check the encoding mount the disk image, launch DVD Player and play it.  If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding is good.
    Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality.  Always use top quality media:  Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.
