Installing Arch Linux from Arch Linux .

Is there a form to  install the base system from Arch Linux? I have Arch Linux I686 and a partition with free space. Maybe in a virtual box and then copying to the partition?

i put X84_64 in /etc/pacman.conf and pacstrap dowload the correct x86_64 files BUT. When the programs are installing pacman calls execv and there is a arch imcopatibility see:
# mnt pacstrap -i /mnt base base-devel

  • [SOLVED] Trying to install Arch Linux from harddisk using /dev/sda2

    Hi
    I'm trying to install Arch using my swap partition, following this wiki entry: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ha … stallation
    What I've done:
    Downloaded ISO: archlinux-2010.05-netinstall-i686.iso
    Command: swapoff /dev/sda2
    Command: fdisk /dev/sda and changed the system type to 83 (Linux) on /dev/sda2
    Now it looks like:
    Command (m for help): p
    Disk /dev/sda: 250.1 GB, 250059350016 bytes
    255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 30401 cylinders, total 488397168 sectors
    Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
    Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
    I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
    Disk identifier: 0x00017e5b
    Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
    /dev/sda1 * 1 1060289 530144+ 83 Linux
    /dev/sda2 1060290 3164804 1052257+ 83 Linux
    /dev/sda3 3164805 105579179 51207187+ 83 Linux
    /dev/sda4 105579180 488392064 191406442+ 83 Linux
    It complained about device was busy, but it still seemed to have changed the system type, so I did partprobe as it wrote.
    WARNING: Re-reading the partition table failed with error 16: Device or resource busy.
    The kernel still uses the old table. The new table will be used at
    the next reboot or after you run partprobe(8) or kpartx(8)
    Syncing disks.
    [root@swamp ~]# partprobe
    <no output>
    Next I did:
    [root@swamp ~]# dd if=archlinux-2010.05-netinstall-i686.iso of=/dev/sda2
    327680+0 records in
    327680+0 records out
    167772160 bytes (168 MB) copied, 4.3025 s, 39.0 MB/s
    [root@swamp ~]# mkdir /mnt/sda2
    [root@swamp ~]# mount /dev/sda2 /mnt/sda2
    mount: warning: /mnt/sda2 seems to be mounted read-only.
    [root@swamp ~]# ls -al /mnt/sda2
    total 150466
    dr-xr-xr-x 3 root root 240 May 16 15:54 .
    drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 4096 Nov 5 01:40 ..
    dr-xr-xr-x 3 root root 556 May 16 15:52 boot
    -r--r--r-- 1 root root 448 May 16 15:54 isomounts
    -r--r--r-- 1 root root 8192 May 16 15:54 overlay.sqfs
    -r--r--r-- 1 root root 154058752 May 16 15:54 root-image.sqfs
    And unmounted it again.
    The wiki page says to type: fsck -f /dev/sda2fsck, but I get no such file while trying to open sda2fsck.
    [root@swamp ~]# fsck -f /dev/sda2fsck
    fsck from util-linux-ng 2.18
    e2fsck 1.41.12 (17-May-2010)
    fsck.ext2: No such file or directory while trying to open /dev/sda2fsck
    The superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2
    filesystem. If the device is valid and it really contains an ext2
    filesystem (and not swap or ufs or something else), then the superblock
    is corrupt, and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate superblock:
    e2fsck -b 8193 <device>
    Can I ignore the above and continue modifying grub?
    Thanks :-)

    fsck -f /dev/sda2fsck makes no sense because /dev/sda2fsck is not a deivce. If the wiki says that, then it is wrong. It's only doing a fsck anyway so probably not really needed. If you are just formatting th swap partition then use, mkfs.ext{234}.
    edit:
    from the wiki
    # fsck -f /dev/sda2fsck 1.40.8 (13-Mar-2008)
    e2fsck 1.40.8 (13-Mar-2008)

  • Problem when Installing from Existing Linux with Arch's Image

    Hey!
    I'm just getting started with Arch Linux. I made a 20GB unallocated space between my Win7 and Ubuntu partitions, created a new ext4 partition and I'm currently following this guide ("another method" section) in order to install my first attempt of Arch Linux.
    I'm on a 64-bit Ubuntu and want to install a 64-bit Arch Linux too, so I'm using the image archlinux-2011.08.19-core-x86_64.iso and in the process of following the instructions in the mentioned guide, I replaced i686 by x86_64.
    The problem comes up when I try to do the chrooting, where I get:
    chroot: failed to run command `/bin/bash': No such file or directory
    Any idea what could I be doing wrong?
    Thanks!

    Ok, I had just messed up when mounting the different directories. Sorry for the noise...
    Anyway, found more errors when running:
    aif -p interactive
    about not finding /lib/modules/3.0.0-13-generic/modules.dep... what makes me think that this guide is intended to be followed when running also an Arch as the Existing Linux.
    I think I'll just go with the flash drive option...
    Cheers!

  • [SOLVED] Installing Windows XP after Arch Linux

    I'm not sure at all where to post this, so I've decided to do it here since I have the problem on a laptop... Please move if it should be somewhere else.
    I installed Arch Linux on my new laptop a month ago or so, and am very pleased to have found the very kind of distro I've been looking for. However, I'm having trouble with my graphics (either wine doesn't support it, or the drivers don't have 2D/3D acceleration), and now I want to install Windows XP next to Arch Linux.
    Using a GParted LiveCD, I've repartitioned the harddrive as such: Unpartitioned Space (27GB), Linux (197GB), SWAP (5GB).
    I've also removed the bootable flag from the Linux partition, just to be sure. However, when I try to install Windows XP, it gets stuck after unpacking a bunch of drivers, giving me a bluescreen that tells me to make sure the hardware isn't broken, check my harddrive with CHKDSK /F, or look for viruses. Ofcourse I know none of these are true, since I'm running Arch Linux just fine.
    A friend suggested that maybe my hardware isn't supported by Windows XP, which sounds like the most reasonable explanation so far, but I can't find a list of supported hardware. The M$ homepage basicly says
    "Pentium 233-megahertz (MHz) processor or faster (300 MHz is recommended)"
    for CPU, which doesn't help me at all.
    My hardware is:
    Processor: Intel Celeron 2.2 Ghz
    Memory: 2GB DDR2
    Graphics: Intel 4500MHD
    And the laptop is called an "eMachines E525", though that doesn't say much since there are very, very many called this.
    Can anyone give me any hints as to what I might be doing wrong?

    Sounds like something I'll want to do. Where did you download the drivers? Do I have to follow some guide? Thanks for the tip
    EDIT:
    Indeed I will want to install AHCI drivers, otherwise Arch Linux fails to boot quite badly. There is also a problem preventing me from booting when I'm using AHCI though;
    At boot, Arch Linux checks /dev/sda1 (NTFS) for errors, and expects to check an ext2 filesystem. Obviously, however, /dev/sda1 is an NTFS filesystem.
    Since it tries to read the NTFS partition as an ext2 filesystem, it panics. Arch Linux then prompts me for the root password (or Ctrl+D to reboot), but I've disabled root login and can therefore do nothing at this point.
    I have a GParted livecd and the Arch Linux livecd, so editing files on any of the filesystem isn't a problem at all, but I don't know what to do at this point. Help?

  • Install 2nd instance of Arch Linux without internet connection

    I have successfully install a first instance of Arch Linux using Arch Linux ISO + pacstrap + pacman with internet connection.
    I have updated to latest package database list (/var/lib/pacman/sync) and package cache files (/var/cache/pacman/pkg) in first instance of Arch Linux with "pacman -Swyu".
    Next, I would like to install 2nd instance of Arch Linux without using internet connection.
    I share the "/var/lib/pacman/sync" and "/var/cache/pacman/pkg" via NFS from first Arch Linux instance.
    I boot the 2nd instance with Arch Linux ISO and attempt to install without internet connection.  I mount the two NFS shares from 1st instance to "/var/cache/pacman/pkg" and "/mnt/var/lib/pacman/sync" respectively.  I execute
       # pacstrap -i -c /mnt"
    to start installation.
    I found it is almost impossible with current implementation of pacstrap script.  The pacstrap script always attempt to update package database list with -Sy option.
    I think some amendments on pacstrap script is needed to install Arch Linux without internet connection.

    I made the edit by adding the option -o to do what you want.
    I am too lazy for a feature request right now...

  • How to install Linux from a distro instead of booting a live cd?

    Suppose you have Arch Linux installed in sda and you want to install a new copy in sdc, can you do it from your distro instead of booting with the installation cd?
    Here's my sdc (75 GB):
    /dev/sdc1 ntfs 100 MB
    /dev/sdc2 ntfs 40 GB
    those partitions are used by Windows 7, so there's another 35 GB for Linux.
    Now here's the the problem: this latest Arch Linux install media is kinda complicated because it does not provide the AIF anymore. Also, the installation method differs a little from the old ones. Until 2011.08.19 I would partition the remaining space like this:
    /dev/sdc3 extended 35 GB
    /dev/sdc5 ext2 100 MB /boot
    /dev/sdc6 swap 1 GB swap
    /dev/sdc7 ext4 15 GB /
    /dev/sdc8 ext4 19 GB /home
    However this guide http://ebalaskas.gr/wiki/archlinux/netinstall shows a different (suposedly recommended) partition table for the new method.
    So,
    1) Is it possible to install Arch Linux from an already installed distro, including GRUB2?
    2) Is it possible to use the partiton table style I provided?
    And how to do it of course.
    Thanks!

    Check this article out
    https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/In … ting_Linux
    Note that it says it is out of date because of pacman.  Really all you need to know is that pacman uses signed packages now, so it is now necessary to run the pacman-key stuff.  Or set SigLevel = Never in pacman.conf
    Edit: IMHO the first method is preferred because it more closely resembles a regular install.  Ergo, you will be able to semi follow the beginners guide for config and such.

  • Arch: Install to & run from External USB Hard Disk Drive (HDD)

    I wanted to play with ArchLinux 2009.02, but replacing the existing Debian-Lenny on the laptop's HDD wasn't an option. So I experimented with installing Arch on an external USB Hard Disk Drive.
    I have tried to make this "newbie-friendly", so I hope the more experienced will forgive the detail.
    Materials:
    Three year old Dell Inspiron 6000
         CPU = 2.0 GHz Pentium
         RAM = 2.0 GB
         Internal HDD = 80 GB
         Internal CD/DVD R/RW
    External USB HDD = Freecom FHD-2 Pro 80 GB
    Archlinux 2009.02 install CD
    Steps to install:
    1. I put the Archlinux install CD in the drive and connected the external 80 GB HDD in the USB port.
    2. When the Dell laptop was booted, I pressed F2 to enter the BIOS setup. I edited the boot sequence to the following:
         Internal CD/DVD
         External USB device
         Internal HDD
    On the Dell, you can also press F12 to select the preferred boot device for that boot.
    3. I started the laptop and the Archlinux installation menu came up and I proceeded with installation following the "Official Arch Linux Install Guide" and the "Beginners Guide".
    4. Used km to change to UK keyboard layout and then began the installer script (/arch/setup). I was installing from the core CD so I skipped the network steps.
    5. HDD preparation.
    This was fairly straightforward with two cautions:
         (a) Make very sure that the external HDD (sdb) is selected for the operations.
         (b) Remember to set the Bootable Flag for the first (/) partition on the HDD.
    I chose 20 GB for /, 2 GB for swap and the remainder for /home.
    6. The package selection and installation was fairly straightforward.
    7. Configuration of System
    This was section was straightforward with one warning:
         USB had to be added to the HOOKS in the /etc/mkinitcpio.conf file!
    I found this to be essential for my external USB HDD to function as a bootable device. Otherwise I got the same sorts of errors relating to unrecognisable file system types that other people have reported in the forum.
    The relevant line from the end of the edited /etc/mkinitcpio.conf file is below:
    HOOKS="base udev autodetect pata scsi sata usb filesystems"
    8. Installation of GRUB was the other point where caution and/or correction was necessary.
    When it asked where GRUB should be installed, I had to select sdb (my external USB HDD) and not any of the particular partitions on sdb. If the root partition sdb1 was selected then the laptop won't boot from the external USB HDD.
    The GRUB /boot/grub/menu.lst as written by the installation routine specifies hd(1,0) which doesn't work when you try to reboot from the external USB HDD. When you boot Arch from the external USB HDD, as far as Arch is concerned - at that point in time - the external USB HDD is the first drive in the system. To fix this:
         (a) When the Arch boot menu comes up, press e to edit the grub entries.
         (b) Change the first line to hd(0,0)
         (c) To the end of the kernel line add rootdelay=8
         (d) Press b to boot the system with these temporary corrections.
         (e) Once your Arch system has booted, edit the /boot/grub/menu.lst to make the above changes permanent.
    The relevant portion of my /boot/grub/menu.lst looks like the following:
    # (0) Arch Linux
    title  Arch Linux
    root   (hd0,0)
    kernel /boot/vmlinuz26 root=/dev/disk/by-uuid/... ro rootdelay=8
    initrd /boot/kernel26.img
    # (1) Arch Linux
    title  Arch Linux Fallback
    root   (hd0,0)
    kernel /boot/vmlinuz26 root=/dev/disk/by-uuid/... ro rootdelay=8
    initrd /boot/kernel26-fallback.img
    9. The laptop happily and consistently boots Arch Linux from the external USB HDD when it's plugged in before startup/booting.
    Running Arch from the external USB HDD seems as quick as running Debian from the internal HDD.
    So if there is a performance penalty associated with using an external USB HDD, my wife and I haven't noticed.
    In summary, the three essential points to address during installation to an external USB HDD are:
         Remember to set the bootable flag for the first partition.
         Add USB to the HOOKS for /etc/mkinitcpio.conf file.
         Correct the /etc/grub/menu.lst file.
    I hope this is helpful.
    Ted

    Hi Rookie,
    As you say, it is worth remembering the rootfstype= option for the kernel line just in case someone still has problems with GRUB after making all the other changes.
    I was working with the most recent Arch 2009.2 release.
    I only got messages about unrecognisable file system type when I tried booting with the "stock" or "as-installed" GRUB (before I edited /boot/grub/menu.lst). After editing /boot/grub/menu.lst to identify the drive correctly and add rootdelay, GRUB was able to do the rest and everything worked OK without any error messages.
    Best wishes,
    Ted

  • Installing linux from windows

    Is there any project like wubi that install linux from windows directly in a partition?

    yeah, 15 minutes to download the core, it takes about 2.5 hours to download all the other stuff (read other stuff as kde )
    thanks for the suggestion of ubuntu, but arch is so better (i tryed ubuntu before, and actually i have some trouble with ubuntu and my laptop).
    maybe i could install linux in a virtual machine and then copy it to the partition (i just don't want get locked at the command line again, i don't care if it takes more effort to install)
    You have one option here - don't use KDE but something lightweight, which doesn't pull 100s of MBs od dependencies, like *box, tiling manager...
    And that stuff with the command line - I see it as a necessary purgatory after using win-do$

  • Access oracle server installed on linux from client on winxp

    Hi
    I am new to this forum and oracle on linux too. I am trying to install Oracle 10gr2 on fedora 8. If I installed oracle on fedora 8, can I log onto oracle from windows xp so that i can practice sql, if so how can I do that
    please help me.

    Hi,
    Please download the Oracle Database 10g Client for Windows at http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/database/oracle10g/htdocs/10201winsoft.html
    Then please install the client and configure it, after that, you can use sqlplus to connect the DB on Linux. See http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/install.102/b15662/toc.htm for details.
    Also, you can use ssh or telnet to connect to the linux from windows, and run the sqlplus command on the linux server directly.

  • Is it possible to install Oracle linux from usb?

    Hi Guys,
    Is it possible to install Oracle linux from usb? If yes, may I know the exact procedures to do so.
    I am using linux ubuntu and I tried to make a bootable usb with the dvd iso of oracle linux 6 using Unetbootin software. The installation started well.
    but after formatting the harddisk, I got an error as shown below
    Missing ISO 9660 image
    The installer has tried to mount image #1, but cannot find it on the hard drive.
    I think ISO 9660 image is something connected with the CD image or something. But not sure...
    Can anyone help me out with this situation.... Thank you..

    HI
    I know this is an old post but has anyone resolved this issue? I am trying to install OEL 6U4 via usb with no luck. Keep getting Missing ISO 9660 Image. I have tried all the tools under the sun to write it to USB, also tried copying the iso to the Boot disk.. as stated above... no luck ....
    I have checked the installation files using md5 and they are fine... just in case downloaded it again as well as 6U3 and 6U0.
    I have installed almost every version of linux there is... but OEL is definitely the most difficult and after 3 days, I am ready to give up. Any idea?
    BTW. I am using utilities on windows 8 to write the iso to USB.
    Thanks

  • Migrating from Arch to Dual Boot (Arch 64 + Win8.1 64).

    Hello my friends.
    I used to have a dual boot system (MBR, if I'm not mistaken), with Arch Linux on hda (1TB) and Windows 7 on hdb (300GB). I did this installation more than 3 years ago.
    The disk with windows died recently, and because I need it for work (virtual machine is not an option), I decided to make a "refresh" on my machine.
    I bought two new disks, a 240GB SSD and a 3TB HDD.
    What I would like to do is to install both Windows 8.1 and Arch Linux on the SSD disk (100GB for Windows, 140GB for Arch, my main system), and use the 3TB (for Arch) and the 1TB (for Windows) disks as storage.
    While doing a research on how to do the installation, some questions arised.
    I know that I must (or at least should, for make the processe easier) install Windows first. I will install in the EFI mode, as my machine alread has it.
    1. Which boot loader I should use when installing Arch Linux?
    From what I'd read, to keep things simple, I should opt for a bootloader like gummyboat, that will recognise the Windows without manual intervantion. Is this right?
    2. Will I have problems with the Windows Update?
    I read here https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=187194 that when Windows update, it mess with the EFI partition and will make the Arch stop booting (the boot will enter directly on Windows). Is this correct? Is this related only to "automatic" updates (and manual updates can be made without problem)? There is any way to avoid this?
    3. After installing both systems, will Arch Linux recognize my 1TB disk?
    My 1TB disk has my actual Arch linux installation, and data. I would like to copy this data to the 3TB disk and then, under Windows, format it to serve as my Windows storage disk.
    I can do this BEFORE installing the system, or after. But the second option causes me some concerning regarding the rights and so on, so that I do not know if my "new" system" will be able to copy things from the old system.
    Should I make the copy before installing Arch Linux?
    I think this is it.
    If you could helping me with these questions and pointing problems/flaws with my approach, I'll be immensely gratefull.
    Chhers,
    Eduardo.

    Hello elken
    While I could maintain the system under BIOS/MBR, and I don't had any problem with this in the last 2 years, I want to change my system to EFI/GPT.
    I found that Windows under EFI must be under GPT (As pre-installed Windows 8.1), while under BIOS it must be under MBR. So, as my system is (will be) a DUAL one, and It is not a MAC system (that would allow to the EFI/GPT loader to chain a BIOS/MBR, I have to choose between EFI/GPT or BIOS/MBR.
    Because my system can be setup under EFI/GPT, and because sooner or later BIOS/MBR will start to disappear, I want to change it now. This will mke it easier in the future to upgrade my system, I think.
    Not to mention that GPT has some nice advantages over MBR. For example, GPT can handle my 3TB disk without problems, while MBR not. (At least, fdisk wasn't able to deal with it).
    So, you could say that despite BIOS/MBR being fully funcional right now, it's a matter of personal taste (and learning) to me, this desire to completely change my system to EFI/GPT
    For now, I decided to mantain the LINUX and WINDOWS separated (as they are now), i.e., on separate disks. This should solve the problem of windows messing with the boot loader when upgrading (point 2).
    About the bootloader, I think I'll change to gummybot, to test it. I think I could still use grub 2 (I'm not entirely sure), but Gummybot seems simple and fair enough.
    As an aside, I think I will try to migrate my system to the new HDF using rsync and making the necessary adjustments (like in fstab).
    It seems not to difficult, and there are many documents out there on how to do this.
    When I finish, I'll post here how I did and what worked and what not
    Cheers,
    Eduardo

  • Booting Arch-ISO from USB-Stick in UEFI mode fails

    Hi there,
    I'm running an Asrock H77M-ITX UEFI mobo. On this system I've already installed Arch on a Samsung 830 SSD (GPT formatted) - but in BIOS legacy mode because I've written the Arch-ISO image with "dd" to an USB-Stick (and UEFI boot mode wasn't even presented at boot).
    Out of curiosity I've re-formatted the stick and copied Arch-ISO following https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Un … B_from_ISO.
    Now I could start the ISO in UEFI mode, but it failed to start gummiboot with the "No loader found. Configuration files in \loader\entries\*.conf are needed." error message, concerning a problem with gummiboot.
    Following some advice on the forum, I did this:
    - install refind-efi 0.4.7-2
    - copy /usr/lib/refind/refindx64.efi to [USB]/EFI/boot and renaming it to bootx64.efi (i.e. replacing the original bootx64.efi from gummiboot)
    - Create a new file in the same directory ([USB]/EFI/boot/) called refind.conf
    - Add this to it:
    textonly
    scanfor manual
    menuentry Arch {
    loader /arch/boot/x86_64/vmlinuz
    initrd /arch/boot/x86_64/archiso.img
    options "gpt loglevel=7 add_efi_memmap none=UEFI_ARCH_x86_64"
    With this I can launch Arch-ISO from the USB-Stick in UEFI mode and I can choose Arch from rEFIND. Then Arch-ISO starts booting but it always stops at the same point with this message:
    sd 6:0:0:0: [sdb] No Caching mode page present
    sd 6:0:0:0: [sdb] Assuming drive cache: write through
    sd 6:0:0:0: [sdb] Attached SCSI removable disk
    ERROR: '/dev/disk/by-label/' device did not show up after 30 seconds ...
    Falling back to interactive prompt
    You can try to fix the problem manually, log out when you are finished
    sh: can't access tty: job control turned off
    [rootfs /]#
    sdb is the USB-Stick from which I start Arch-ISO. Again - I didn't use dd to write the ISO to the stick.
    Maybe this is pretty easy to solve, but I have to admit that I'm somewhat stuck

    WonderWoofy wrote:See what the difference is between archiso and archboot maybe?  Seriously, have you made any effort whatsoever?
    Of course. Read:
    The "Main Page" ( https://www.archlinux.org/ ) states:
    "You've reached the website for Arch Linux, a lightweight and flexible Linux® distribution that tries to Keep It Simple."
    "Keep It Simple". Yeah!
    In line with that, the "The Arch Way" page ( https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/The_Arch_Way ) states:
    "The following five core principles comprise what is commonly referred to as the Arch Way, or the Arch Philosophy, perhaps best summarized by the acronym KISS for Keep It Simple, Stupid."
    The ArchWiki ( https://wiki.archlinux.org/ ) links to several other pages, such as these:
    The "Forum Etiquette" page ( https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Forum_Etiquette ) states under "Ineffective Discussion":
    "Arch is a Do It Yourself community" and "treat others as you would be treated; respect them and their views". I am very much a "do it yourself" person -- that's why I like The Arch Way. I also go by the Golden Rule stated here.
    Now, everyone is a newbie at some time. I and other posters here are obviously newbies with respect to ArchLinux. Even experts were newbies at one time. Newbies, by definition, do not necessarily know what they're doing, or where to find information. Hence, Arch's "Beginners' Guide" and such. Hence, posts on this board from newbies asking for help.
    As regards initial installation of ArchLinux, and consistent with the above, the FAQ ( https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/FAQ ), under "Q) Arch needs an installer. Maybe a GUI installer", states:
    "A) Since installation doesn't occur often (read the rest of this article to know more about what rolling release means), it is not a high priority for developers or users. The Installation Guide and Beginners' Guide have been fully updated to use the command-line method. If you're still interested in using an installer, consider using Archboot."
    So the basic installation instructions explicitly state that Archboot is not needed.
    The "Installation Guide" ( https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Installation_Guide ) says nothing about either Archboot or Archiso.
    The "Beginners Guide" ( https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Beginners%27_Guide ) says nothing about either Archboot or Archiso.
    The "Archboot" page ( https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Archboot ) is consistent with the above information, because it states:
    "Archboot is a set of scripts to generate bootable media for CD/USB/PXE.
    It is designed for installation or rescue operation."
    The "Archiso" page ( https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Archiso ) states:
    "Archiso is a small set of bash scripts that is capable of building fully functional Arch Linux based live CD and USB images. It is a very generic tool, so it could potentially be used to generate anything from rescue systems, install disks, to special interest live CD/DVD/USB systems, and who knows what else."
    So the pages describing both Archboot and Archiso clearly state that these tools are oriented towards already-existing installations -- even though it seems that they might be used, in certain circumstances, for initial installations.
    I happen to be very new at playing around with installing Linux distros (although I've used Unix/Linux as a regular user for more than 30 years), and am brand new with respect to ArchLinux. I only began playing with it this past Saturday. So I would expect a bit of useful help as opposed to "RTFM!" I will soon get past the need to RTFM for basic tasks, but I have a way to go.
    The fact is that for me and a number of other new ArchLinux users, the installation guides simply do not work. C.f. my post https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=153170 . I've done a lot of googling as well as searching the archives on this board, and others have come up against the same show-stopping installation problems that I have. I and others have posted to several recent threads on this board, trying to get past the problems, so far with no success.
    Now, the.ridikulus.rat had written:
    "You guys are using Archboot's kernel options for Archiso. Thats the issue in both the cases."
    Given that neither of these sets of scripts were used by me or swordfish, this comment is not useful.
    Given the above, can you or anyone else tell us what Archiso or Archboot might do to help us with our installation problems? Also, can you tell us how we, as newbies, ought to have found out how these might help?

  • How to copy from in linux??

    i've just installed linux. trying to install packages
    ftp://ftp.archlinux.org/core/os/i686/core.db.tar.gz
    ftp://ftp.archlinux.org/extra/os/i686/extra.db.tar.gz
    ftp://ftp.archlinux.org/community/os/i6 … .db.tar.gz
    so that i can install xkfe offline as no internet connection at the mo. i have the packages on cd. put it into the linux desktop.
    now just stumped onto how to copy from the cdrom drive to the destinations. im not sure where exactly to find the cdrom in the first place.
    so if someone can help me with the phrase to put in to do the copy so that i can then run pacman and install these and an environment.

    Your cd drive might be /dev/sr0 or /dev/sr1 or /dev/cdrom or something, you would make a folder in /mnt or /media with mkdir and mount it there via mount /dev/whatever /mnt/whatever. You just cd /mnt/whatever and then use cp on files to move them over wherever you want. "cd" = change directory.
    I don't mean to be rude, but there aren't many people who can (or should try to) pull off using Arch as their first linux distribution. It is intended for people who are already well aware of what they are doing. Perhaps you should start with Ubuntu, Fedora, Suse, Mandriva, or something of the sort. Ubuntu being the most popular choice, for whatever that means..
    That said, there are many on the forums who started here first and are doing fine, so "shrug". It's really about attitude, willingness to work for it (looking thoroughly for your answers before asking, especially), and willingness to learn really. Just a word of advice..
    On that note, mounting cd's I'm sure is written all over google, and these forums tend to either ignore or bitch at people who haven't already looked for their question thoroughly on such, with good reason.
    Also, please see the forum etiquette http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Forum_Etiquette here. It's not okay to bump your posts so quickly. There is an edit button there for a reason.
    Also, why did you link to those 3 database files? db.tar.gz files do not contain actual packages, just information about them.. you would need to download a bunch of xfce packages.. db.tar.gz files wont help you. I don't see how they relate to the rest of your post, either..
    Good luck..
