Hi,
After Installing Virtual box and creating a new vm for archlinux.
start the vm and follow these steps
*To check the internet connectivity run commands *
1) ip link
2) ping archlinux.org
it can be partitioned into three
/boot /dev/sda 83 384MB Linux
swap /dev/sda2 82 512MB SWAP
/ /dev/sda3 83 remaining space Linux
*Partition steps*
fdisk /dev/sda
m Enter -- help
o Enter --- to change disk label type to dos
p Enter --- to print the details of partitioned
n Enter --- new partition
Enter --- to select partition type like primary or secondary
Enter ---- to select start of the memory
+384M Enter --- size
p Enter
n Enter
p Enter
Enter
Enter
+512M Enter
t Enter
Enter
L Enter -- to list
82 Enter -- Linux swap
p Enter
n Enter
Enter -- partition type
Enter
Enter -- to give remaining size for root partition
p Enter
w Enter --- to write the changes to disk
*boot flag steps*
fdisk /dev/sda Enter
p Enter
m Enter
a Enter --- set boot flag
1 Enter --- select boot partition number like 1 or 2
p Enter
w Enter
--> mkswap /dev/sda2
--> mkswap -L SWAP /dev/sda2
--> swapon /dev/sda2
--> mkfs.ext3 -L BOOT /dev/sda1
--> mkfs.ext3 -L Root -j /dev/sda3
--> mount -v /dev/sda3 /mnt
--> mkdir /mnt/boot
--> mount -v /dev/sda1 /mnt/boot
--> pacstrap /mnt base base-devel linux linux-firmware net-tools bind-tools
grub nano dhcpcd os-prober ifplugd openssh openresolv --- you can add any
other packages you want to install
--> genfstab -U /mnt >> /mnt/etc/fstab
--> arch-chroot /mnt
--> ln -sf /usr/share/zoneinfo/Asia/Kolkata /etc/localtime
--> locale-gen
--> LANG=en_US.UTF-8 >> /etc/locale.conf
--> echo arch >> /etc/hostname -- I gave "arch" as my hostname
--> hostnamectl hostname arch -- to set hostname
--> echo '127.0.0.1 arch.localdomain arch' >> /etc/hosts
--> passwd -- setting password for root user
--> useradd -m normalUser -g wheel -- to create other user, you can replace
the normalUser with the name you want to create
--> passwd normalUser -- to set password for normalUser
--> grub-install /dev/sda
--> grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
--> umount -R /mnt
--> exit
--> reboot
After reboot select boot into existing OS
login: root
password: your password
as the enp0s3 is down, to enable and start it have to run following commands
--> *systemctl enable dhcpcd --- *if you are logged in as non-root user
prefix sudo
-->*systemctl start dhcpcd*
now check *ping *to confirm internet is connected and continue using OS
