![]() ![]() The hostname is basically the name you want to give to your computer on your local network. You have to write the keymap as explained above For a french azerty, the keymap will be fr, for a spanish es etc. Most of the time, the english country code is used. If you are unsure, you may List available keymaps on Blackarch by selecting 2. If you have a qwerty based keyboard, you can stick with the us keycode, however, this may be not always be the case. You now have to select the keymap you want. It's similar to emerge available on a Gentoo system (blackman simply builds from source, emerge is infinitively more advanced and offers a ton of features) Prebuilt package from a repository as pacman does, this will get the source code and compile from source. This is not a recommended option for beginners, instead of fetching the However, in order to have an updated system, after the installation has finished, once you reach your install environment (after you boot into the fresh install) start a general update using pacman -Syyu. If you choose this option you will not need internet during the install process. Will fetch the required packages from official arch repositories and the blackarch repositories as well. This is the recommended option to select for the netinstall iso, it This is just a tip in case you didn't know) You can do it at any time without the need to stop it by simply switching tty's by pressing these keys simultaneously ctrl + alt + f2 (f1 is the default tty where you ran the blackarch-install script (if you did not execute it in another tty.), f2, f3, f4, f5 or f6 will bring a new tty where you can execute any command you may need. Once you learn those, you conquered 90% of the difficulty of installing Arch and probably 70% of installing Gentoo.Throughout this tutorial, you may want to execute some shell commands while the script is running. It’s partitioning and file systems which are common to all Linux distros, just a bit more hands on in Arch and Gentoo. The sharpest learning curve for new Linux users when installing Arch, actually has nothing to do with Arch per se. Installing Arch is the only way I know for someone to realize that installing Arch isn’t difficult. Don’t opt for an easier to install distro. Now to the advice, with which I respectfully disagree. Years ago, I learned more about how, and more importantly why, Linux works, not by completing a project, but by attempting numerous times to install Gentoo and numerous times, failing spectacularly. Failing to do something the first - or first several - times isn’t failure. In addition to creating problems, the install script robs you of the opportunity to learn how Linux works that would otherwise be yours at absolutely no cost. Using a script in a VM will add even more layers of problems. I’ve never managed to complete a scripted installation in less than twice that, and then the configurations I had to correct took longer than the install itself. From a blank hard drive to fully functional KDE desktop, installing from the command line, takes me under half an hour. I’ve never seen an Arch install script that wasn’t more trouble than it was worth and didn’t take longer to use than installing the traditional way. First, I agree that you should ditch the script, and for a couple of reasons. You have been given some advice with which I agree and some with which I as a Linux user from before Slackware and Debian were released, do not. Linux is the most versatile operating system and within Linux, Arch is a particularly versatile distro. To answer your question, of course, you’ll be able to run Arch on your computer. ![]()
