+2. Format boot partition:
+`$ mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda<root>`
+3. Mount:
+``` 
+$ mount /dev/sda<root> /mnt
+$ mkdir /mnt/home
+$ mount /dev/sda<home> /mnt/home
+```
+4. Change mirror for **pacman**:
+`$ nano /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist`
+5. Install base and devel system:
+`$ pacstrap -i /mnt base base-devel`
+6. Generate fstab and check it:
+```
+$ genfstab -U -p /mnt >> /mnt/etc/fstab
+$ nano /mnt/etc/fstab
+```
+7. Chroot to mnt:
+`arch-chroot /mnt /bin/bash`
+8. Set up locale, for me uncomment en_US UTF-8 in locale.gen:
+```
+$ nano /etc/locale.gen
+$ locale-gen
+```
+9. Create locale.conf and export locale:
+`$ echo LANG=en_US.UTF-8 > /etc/locale.conf`

+`$ useradd -m -g users -G wheel,video -s /bin/bash adham`
+16. Install **sudo** with **pacman**:
+`$ pacman -S sudo`
+17. Uncomment wheel group from sudoers **”%wheel ALL=(ALL)”**, so that user just created can be sudo:
+`$ visudo`
+18. Set password to created user:
+`$ passwd adham`
+19. Since we use **MBR** not **GPT** lets install **GRUB BIOS** bootloader:
+`pacman -S grub-bios`

+```
+$ grub-install --recheck /dev/sda
+$ grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
+```
