[Resolved]Install the base system?

Postby ThinkFast » Thu Sep 26, 2013 9:47 pm

I installed Archlinux on my Pogoplug E02 in February using the instruction on the Archlinux Pogoplug V2 E03 page.
After reading the news: "Binaries move to /usr/bin requiring update intervention", I decided to reinstall Archlinux from scratch.
I followed the instructions on [Hacking the POGOplug. The definitive guide].

Rebuilt system and rebooted.
Reconnected with ssh and changed root password to match records.

Step 1:
Updates and Tools:

## Update Pacman Sources
pacman -Syy ## package sync
pacman -Syu ## system update

## Update Pacman Installer
pacman -S pacman
warning: pacman-4.1.2-1 is up to date.

## update various apps
xpacman -S ntp bzip2 zip p7zip gftp unzip libzip ##tools for later

## Text Editors Installation
xpacman -S vim nano ## nano and vim text editors

Step 2:
Fixing the clock

nano /etc/rc.conf
>File not found!

The instructions I was following were written before the changes "End of initscripts support".
So now I working on adding ntp as a service.

My question is: Should I follow the instructions in the "Beginners'_Guide: Install the base system"?
Or will I run into problems with space on my 8GB USB stick?

Thanks.

Everything switched to systemd while you weren't looking...

Ok. I found your guide. This has the updates I needed.

Does the following equate to Installing the base system?
cd usb
wget http://archlinuxarm.org/os/ArchLinuxARM ... est.tar.gz
tar -xzvf ArchLinuxARM-armv5te-*.tar.gz ## This will take some time
rm ArchLinuxARM-armv5te-*.tar.gz
sync

If so, I know where to resume your tutorial.
Thanks.
