== Installing ==
Install GPT (Guid Partition Table) on the disk`
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
sgdisk -z /dev/vda
</syntaxhighlight>
Create partition one, leave 2048 sectors blank for the bootloader, and consuming the rest of the drive.
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
sgdisk -n 1:2048: /dev/vda
sgdisk --attributes=1:set:2 /dev/vda
</syntaxhighlight>
Now that you have a partition, it will show as /dev/vda1. Format The partition as ext4
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
mkfs.ext4 /dev/vda1 -F
</syntaxhighlight>
Mount The partiton, so that we can install arch onto it.
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
mount /dev/vda1 /mnt
</syntaxhighlight>
Install Arch.
** Also install base-devel: compiler programs
** openssh: remote access
** syslinux: bootloader
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
pacstrap /mnt base base-devel openssh syslinux
</syntaxhighlight>
Now that arch is isntalled, build a partition to mount point table, and write it to /mnt/etc/fstab
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
genfstab -p /mnt >> /mnt/etc/fstab
</syntaxhighlight>
== Chroot ==
Switch into the arch installtion.
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
arch-chroot /mnt
</syntaxhighlight>
Fix the timezone settings
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
unlink /etc/localtime
ln -s /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/Chicago /etc/localtime
</syntaxhighlight>
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
systemctl enable dhcpcd
systemctl enable sshd
</syntaxhighlight>
== Prepraring to boot ==
Create your initial ramdisk - The initial file system before the real one boots
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
mkinitcpio -p linux
</syntaxhighlight>
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
cp -r /usr/lib/syslinux/bios/*.c32 /boot/syslinux/
extlinux --install /boot/syslinux
</syntaxhighlight>
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
dd bs=440 count=1 conv=notrunc if=/usr/lib/syslinux/bios/gptmbr.bin of=/dev/vda
sed -i 's#/dev/sda3#/dev/vda1#' /boot/syslinux/syslinux.cfg
</syntaxhighlight>
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
echo [archlinuxfr] >> /etc/pacman.conf
echo SigLevel = Never >> /etc/pacman.conf
echo Server = http://repo.archlinux.fr/\$arch >> /etc/pacman.conf
pacman -Sy
pacman -S --noconfirm salt-zmq
