4. Format partitions

   mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda1 mkswap /dev/sda2 mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda3

5. Mount filesystem

   swapon /dev/sda2 mount /dev/sda3 /mnt

   mkdir /mnt/boot mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/boot

6. Install Arch

   pacstrap /mnt base base-devel genfstab -p /mnt >> /mnt/etc/fstab arch-chroot /mnt /bin/bash vi /etc/locale.conf LANG="en_US.UTF-8" vi /etc/locale.gen

   uncomment en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8

   uncomment en_US ISO-8859-1

   uncomment sv_SE.UTF-8 UTF-8

   uncomment sv_SE ISO-8859-1

   locale-gen ln -s /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Stockholm /etc/localtime vi /etc/vconsole.conf KEYMAP=sv-latin1 vi /etc/hostname

   add a suitable hostname for the system, my main is HAL

   mkinitcpio -p linux

7. Install bootloader

   pacman -S syslinux gptfdisk syslinux-install_update -i -a -m

8. Secure root passwd

9. Reboot

   exit umount /mnt/boot umount /mnt reboot
