# archinstall
|
|
Just a bare bone automated [Arch](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_Linux) install with network deployment instructions based on MAC-address.
|
|
|
|
# Autorun on Arch Live CD
|
|
|
|
# cd ~/archlive
|
|
# echo -e "git\npython-psutil" >> packages.both
|
|
# echo "cd /root" >> ./airootfs/root/customize_airootfs.sh
|
|
# echo "git clone https://github.com/Torxed/archinstall.git" >> ./airootfs/root/customize_airootfs.sh
|
|
# echo "cd archinstall; git checkout net-deploy; cd /root" >> ./airootfs/root/customize_airootfs.sh
|
|
# echo "chmod +x ~/archinstall/archinstall.py" >> ./airootfs/root/customize_airootfs.sh
|
|
# mkdir ./airootfs/etc/skel
|
|
# echo '[[ -z $DISPLAY && $XDG_VTNR -eq 1 ]] && sh -c ~/archinstall/archinstall.py' >> ./airootfs/etc/skel/.zprofile
|
|
|
|
# rm -v work*; ./build.sh -v
|
|
> Note: `~/archlive` might be different on your system, see [ArchISO#Setup](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/archiso#Setup) for more info.

Whenever this live-cd boots, from here on now - it'll run `archinstall.py` with the `net-deploy` branch.
|
|
|
|
> CAUTION: If no parameters are given, it will devour the first disk in your system (/dev/sda, /dev/nvme0n1 etc).
|
|
|
|
# Manually run it on a booted Live CD
|
|
|
|
# wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Torxed/archinstall/net-deploy/archinstall.py
|
|
# python3 archinstall.py
|
|
|
|
# Rerunning a installation
|
|
|
|
# umount -R /mnt; cryptsetup close /dev/mapper/luksdev
|
|
# python3 ./archinstall/archinstall.py
|
|
> Note: This assumes `--post=stay` is set to avoid instant reboot at the end.
|
|
|
