### This howto explains how to install aif on an installcd that does not have the aif package installed yet ### ### You can also use this if you want to use another version than what's available on the installcd) ### ### TODO: someday, have an iso that comes with aif by default) ### 1) Boot from the installcd 2) Open 2 shells, one as user root, one as regular user (arch) 3) Decide on a package. See http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?K=aif for available packages - aif-git: latest code from the git master (stable) branch: recommended! - aif-experimental-git: latest development code. Code is tested here and if ok, merged into master. Use at own risk!! I assume you'll pick aif-git. 4) Copy paste the code below. # root shell: /arch/setup. # fake ftp install so it lets you run the network configure script # when network works, quit installer pacman -Sy git fakeroot # You need about 192MB ram for this! 128MB is not enough. # arch shell wget http://aur.archlinux.org/packages/aif-git/aif-git.tar.gz tar -xzf cd aif-git makepkg # root shell: pacman -U /home/arch/aif-git/aif*.pkg.tar.gz 4) Fire it up! (as root) /arch/aif -p #you can skip networking. For more info see README or /arch/aif -h.
