Installing Manjaro XFCE 8.7.1 via Installation Wizard
- Boot from the USB Drive.
- When prompted type in ‘stat’ press enter to select Manjaro Live.
- Click on the Manjaro installation manager icon on the Desktop and walk through the installation process.
- When prompted for a username, choose one that is NOT your SOE login! For example "elnaz_local" rather than my SOE login of "elnaz". Otherwise you will not be able to login to your computer after you setup LDAP.
- When prompted for a machine name, enter the name that machine is supposed to be (mascd11, omelette, quiche, etc)
- Selecting 'Edit Partitioning' will launch gparted which will allow you to delete current partitions and/or add new partitions.
- At least 3 partitions are needed.
- ~2G storage for /boot and select ‘ext2’ as the format.
- At least 8-10G for swap and select ‘linux-swap’ as the format.
- The rest of the storage space can be mounted as root ‘/‘ with ‘ext4’ format.
- You can add other partition such as home directory.
- Click on 'Edit' and select 'Apply all partitions' to save the changes. And quit the program.
- At least 3 partitions are needed.
- Right click on ~2G partition and mount it as /boot. The format should be 'ext2'.
- Right click on the largest partition (i.e. root) and mount is as '/'. Click Forward.
- Install 'grub' in the /boot partition.
- Review the summary of the changes you have made. And click on 'install'.
- Installation wizard should complete as normal.
NOTE: when partitioning the disk, make sure root and boot partitions are on one disk. Otherwise, you will not be able to boot from hard drive.
