ArchMatic Installer Script - VMWare

My modified ArchMatic scripts for a full Arch install & configuration with DE, support packages, and apps. Forked for VMWare optimization.

Setup Boot and Arch ISO on USB key

First, setup the boot USB, boot arch live iso, and run the preinstall.sh from terminal.

Arch Live ISO (Pre-Install)

This step installs arch to your hard drive. IT WILL FORMAT THE DISK

curl https://git.boppdev.net/beech/ArchScripts/raw/branch/main/preinstall1.sh -o preinstall1.sh
sh preinstall1.sh

arch-chroot /mnt

passwd
useradd -M -g users -G wheel,storage,power -s /bin/bash USERNAME
passwd USERNAME
sed -i 's/^# %wheel ALL=(ALL) ALL/%wheel ALL=(ALL) ALL/' /etc/sudoers
echo "Defaults rootpw" >> /etc/sudoers

ip link # Take note of your link name & edit in preinstall2.

# Run preinstall2.sh
sudo pacman -S nano curl --noconfirm --needed
curl https://git.boppdev.net/beech/ArchScripts/raw/branch/main/preinstall2.sh -o preinstall2.sh
nano preinstall2.sh
# Edit adapter name for dhcpcd service in script
sh preinstall2.sh
exit
umount -r /mnt

After First Boot

pacman -S --noconfirm pacman-contrib curl git
git clone https://git.boppdev.net/beech/ArchScripts
cd ArchScripts
sh setup.sh
sh software.sh

System Description

GNOME Desktop Enviornment GDM Login Manager

Booting using systemd

Installs the LTS Kernel along side the rolling one, and configures the bootloader to offer both as a choice during startup. This allows you to switch kernels in the event of a problem with the rolling one.
