Testing the installation of Archlinux: Manjaro XFCE 8.7.1

Creating Manjaro Live Installation Media

    diskutil list
    diskutil unmountDisk /dev/disk2 //flash is connected to disk2
    dd of="/dev/disk2 if=/path/to/manjaro-xfce-0.8.7.1-x86_64.iso'
    diskutil eject /dev/disk2

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 partitioned as root ‘/‘ with the ‘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.
  • 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.
  • Note to 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.
