| 3 | +## Introduction |
| 4 | +For AUT-ICPC competitions of 2019, an Archlinux iso image was provided. |
| 5 | +So here are some links and explanations for the journey of installing and configuring and having a live image in Archlinux. |
| 6 | + |
| 7 | +### Getting Started |
| 8 | + |
| 9 | +A heads up from Archlinux website for starting([see by youself](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Frequently_asked_questions#Why_would_I_not_want_to_use_Arch?) |
| 10 | +): |
| 11 | +``` |
| 12 | +You may not want to use Arch, if |
| 13 | +
|
| 14 | +- you require support for an architecture other than x86_64. |
| 15 | +- you do not have the ability/time/desire for a 'do-it-yourself' GNU/Linux distribution. |
| 16 | +- you believe an operating system should configure itself, run out of the box, and include a complete default |
| 17 | + set of software and desktop environment on the installation media. |
| 18 | +``` |
| 19 | +> **General Tip** |
| 20 | +- Whenever you got stuck in the procedures, Archwiki will be your saviour. |

| 40 | +> Tips |
| 41 | +- For a fully functional base system, pay attention to the packages appended to the end of **pacstrap** command, otherwise you may end up having no _text editor_ or _network manager_. |
| 42 | +for example: |
| 43 | + ``` |
| 44 | + pacstrap /mnt base linux linux-firmware |
| 45 | + ``` |
| 46 | +- Set the system clock up to date, otherwise you may face some problems later. |
| 47 | + |
| 48 | +## Post-installation |
| 49 | +- Like setting up a **graphical user interface**, **sound** or a **touchpad**. |
| 50 | +You can visit Archwiki for [General recommendations](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/General_recommendations) after installation. |
| 51 | +- For a list of applications that may be of interest, see [List of applications](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/List_of_applications). |
| 52 | + |
| 53 | +### Graphical user interface |
| 54 | +- Archwiki's documents on [GUI](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Category:Graphical_user_interfaces) |
| 55 | + |
| 56 | +#### Desktop environment |
| 57 | +For setting up a desktop environment and choosing the desktop itself, [Arcolinuxd website](https://arcolinuxd.com/7-the-actual-installation-of-arch-linux-phase-3/) is a good source to go. |
| 58 | + |
| 59 | +## Live Image |
| 60 | +In order to generate Arch images, you need to use Archiso. |
| 61 | +> Archiso is a small set of bash scripts capable of building fully functional Arch Linux live CD/DVD/USB images. |
| 62 | +- For installing Archiso use the following command: |
| 63 | +``` |
| 64 | +pacman -S archiso |
| 65 | +or |
| 66 | +yaourt archiso-git |
| 67 | +``` |
