Re: [arch-general] How to install archlinux using a specific parition of usb instead of the whole usb?

Hi,

I try to use a specific partition of usb to install archlinux, the following is the step:

Suppose the /dev/sdc is my usb:

$ sudo ddrescue -f archlinux-2019.11.01-x86_64.iso /dev/sdc2 The ISO contains multiple partitions, so probably not. Why are you

Maybe you want to install archlinux following the install guide, but installing to the USB partition instead of an HDD.

Some people do this to create multiboot USBs. -- Eli Schwartz Bug Wrangler and Trusted User
