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.
