Build a Killer Customized Arch Linux Installation and Learn All About Linux in the Process
This is a nicely written guide for people looking to getting started with Arch Linux.
Build a Killer Customized Arch Linux Installation and Learn All About Linux in the Process.
Clean-up Pacman
In Arch when ever you install a package it is downloaded to your system. This make perfect sense because how else are you going to install it… What most people don’t realize is that those packages stay on the system forever unless you purge them.
This can be nice sometimes, especially if you want to re-install a package which you previously removed.
Purging your packages once in a while will free up a lot of free space on your machine and it will help to keep your system clean. To purge the copies pacman keeps just run the following command and say yes to both questions:
pacman -Sc
Working with ISO from the Linux Command Line
If you have wondered how to create an iso from the command line, it is very simple. You just need to use the following commands:
mkisofs -o <name of iso>.iso <directory to be iso>
To burn an ISO from the command-line many people do a DD, this doesn’t always work since it is technically not the correct way to do it. To do it the proper way you would need to run the following commands:
- Determine the Device ID number by running the following command:
cdrecord -scanbus
* The device ID number will be x,x,x on the row which lists the CD/DVD drive you will be using.
- Next you will want to do the actual burning of the ISO to that device using the following command:
cdrecord -v dev=<Device ID from the scanbus command> <ISO to burn>.iso
