Hello all!
I remember looking at the installation script about one year ago,
and all it had done (to install the base packages), was to use pacman.
Now if I try to use the same procedure now (or what I remember from
it), I get a lot of errors from the install hooks (script-lets). I've
tried to install them once without by disabling scriptlets, and then
once more by using them, but the errors are still there.
So my question is: how can I install Arch Linux now, by having
only a static built pacman? (I want to use this for an automated
installation procedure for virtual machines.) (I think I've tried the
procedure on the Wiki page with the same outcome.)
Thanks,
Ciprian Craciun.
P.S.: Maybe it's Ok to have those scriptlet errors?
Install to /mnt as root (provided you have a working pacman.conf in .)
# mkdir -p /mnt/var/lib/pacman/{local,sync}
# ./pacman.static --root /mnt --config ./pacman.conf -Sy base
That's it, all you need to do is configure the system (you need to know
how) and install a bootloader. I did this recently and the system worked
(it was a test system though, it's not in any productive use).
There will be _some_ errors from scriptlets in the beginning, but those should be fine - you can paste the output here in case you are unsure.
