How to install Vanilla Arch with ArchInstall (Jan 2024) - DarkXero - 01-23-2024 Hey all.. It has come to my attention that some of you out there still have no idea how to install Vanilla Arch with the ArchInstall script although guides exist all over the net.. With that, I will embed 2 videos here that show you how to do that, one for plain another for Dual boot with Windows.. .:: Simple Install ::.
.:: Dual-Boot Install ::.
RE: How to install Vanilla Arch with ArchInstall (Jan 2024) - ATH-Linux - 02-24-2024 The method worked for the x220 laptop having 1 dedicated drive for installation, but I need to clarify that the method shown in the 1st video don't suit the case of dual booting with other GNU OSes. The arch wiki specify that the mounting point in case of uefi system are different from the one show by Erick since the archinstall script don't show how it handles partitions if you let the automatic settings do the arrangements.
On debian12 the assigned mount points shown by gparted are as follow : So they is differences from what is proposed in the wiki. Mistakes in directing properly the mount points during arch install results in grub not showing up. Wiping or reformatting the efi partition is not recommended nor it was the method the Xerolinux used in Calamares install, I wonder how it handled this because we could have 2 grub versions each one with its settings. RE: How to install Vanilla Arch with ArchInstall (Jan 2024) - DarkXero - 02-24-2024 That's exactly why I included 2nd video. All I know is that Calamares did the normal Grub install
That's it ! I have no clue what ArchInstall does exactly that's why I recommend against it. Better use the ArchWiki instead. That too isn't always specific. They do not mention dual boot clearly enough. They can't take every scenario into account. Too many variances. RE: How to install Vanilla Arch with ArchInstall (Jan 2024) - ATH-Linux - 02-26-2024 I understand the problem to make a detailled dualboot section on the arch wiki, keeping this section up-to-date can be tedious with the unexpected changes. However dual booting with Debian should not be that hard to pull if Calamares included in many arch spins do it with no problem. So this is How I did it : Debian12 + Arch Dual boot installation UEFI x64 method (feb 2024)
Note: Before beginning grab the last iso of Arch, Debian and an Arch-based distro with GUI for easy CHROOT. With Ventoy I have all of them in one USB stick. [ STAGE1: Install Debian first ]
It's more update-proof so it can serve as your backup OS
[ STAGE2: With Debian ready, begin the vanilla Arch install ]
