BACKGROUND

After using Debian for almost 8 years on my laptop, I wiped it out a few months back to install Arch Linux. This post talks through the installation process and the story behind it.

DISCLAIMER

Duplicating the instructions from the Arch Linux Installation Guide is not the intention of this post. The Arch Linux installation guide has much more detailed and up-to-date steps for a lot of hardware and software combinations. This post merely talks about the steps I used and the package selection I made for my hardware. This is partly for my own future reference.
