### 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 version. See http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?K=aif for available packages - aif: recommended: latest 'stable' package - aif-git: latest from git: very bleeding edge. Might not work as expected! I assume you'll pick aif. 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/aif.tar.gz tar -xzf cd aif makepkg # root shell: pacman -U /home/arch/aif/aif*.pkg.tar.gz 4) Fire it up! (as root) /arch/aif #you can skip networking. See readme on howto specify procedures
