- **Make sure that all the partitions of the disk on which you'll
- install</big> <big><br>
- ArchBang Linux are unmounted & that the sound isn't used by
- any apps**<br><br>
- 1) Set your timezone by choosing UTC. Choose
- localtime only if you have <br>
- a windoze partition and make sure the time is
- right.<br><br>
- 2) Choose Auto-Prepare if you plan to use the
- entire disk. If you do<br>
- not choose Auto-Prepare, I assume you know
- how to partition your hdd<br><br>
- Archbang includes Gparted for gui partitioning of system<br><br>
- **Make sure you edit the correct drive/partition loss of system or data can occur**<br>
- <br>
- 3) Install the system<br><br>
- 4) Set your root password, username & user
- password<br><br>
- 5) Install Grub (don't forget to uncomment the
- section for Windoze<br>
- if you do use it) & misson complete!<br>

- <br>
- -If you know the name of the package you would like to install,</big>
- <big><br>
- open the terminal and type "sudo pacman -S NameOfThePackage".<br>
- For example: "sudo pacman -S firefox"<br>
- And it will install firefox for you. Now that was not hard ;D<br>
- <br>
- -All right, now let's say you know the type of application you
- want</big> <big><br>
- or the name of the application but you do not know the exact
- package<br>
- name, use the search function by typing in the terminal <br>
- "pacman -Ss DescriptionOfWhatYouAreLookingFor"<br>
- For example: "pacman -Ss mozilla browser"<br>
- =>You will get many results and the first one will most
- likely be<br>
- Firefox :D. Now you know how to write the package name (firefox)<br>
- and you have a small description of the package.<br>
- <br>
- -Let's say you're worried about the amount of space Firefox
- could take</big> <big><br>
- once installed on your precious hard drive, you can have further<br>
- informations about a package by typing "pacman -Si
- NameOfThePackage"<br>
- For example: "pacman -Si firefox" will let you know that the
- installed<br>
- size of that package is 3.5MB. You'll also know more about the
- package's<br>
- dependencies (such as xulrunner & desktop-file-utils) that
- are<br>
- automatically pulled if you do not have them already.<br>
- <br>
- -Finally, you need to know that there's Arch Linux main reps
- which are</big> <big><br>
- core, extra, community that have the most common packages used
- by most<br>
- distributions. Packages for newer & less popular
- applications are often <br>
- located in the AUR (which is the Arch User Repository). It is a
- place<br>
- where we can upload our own packages (AND THERE ARE A LOT OF
- PACKAGES IN<br>
- THERE). The best tool to get packages from the AUR is packer
- which is<br>
- already included in ArchBang. Let's say you would like to get
- dropbox,<br>
- radiotray or minitube which were included in our previous
- release,<br>
- you just need to type in the terminal as user "packer -S dropbox" and
- voila.<br>
- You could install all 3 at once if you wanted by typing:<br>
- packer -S minitube radiotray dropbox.<br>
- <br>
- The applications you install will be listed in xdgmenu & you
- can</big> <big><br>
- manually add an item for your application in OB's custom menu by
- using<br>
- the Gui Menu Editor located in Prefereces>Openbox
- Config>Gui Menu Editor<br>

- <br>
- -Run as root "pacman -R ThePackageYouWantToDelete"</big> <big><br>
- for example: "pacman -R firefox" will remove firefox<br>
- <br>
- You should keep in mind that the first time you installed
- Firefox, it </big><big><br>
- came with xulrunner & desktop-file-utils which are still
- installed on<br>
- your system! A cleaner way to remove firefox would be:<br>
- "pacman -Rnsc firefox" <br>
- =>It will remove the package (firefox) and its dependencies
- (xulrunner &<br>
- desktop-file-utils) and its configuration files :D. You have to
- be<br>
- careful with this "cleaner" way of removing an application
- because you<br>
- could get rid of dependencies needed by another application.<br>
- For example: xulrunner is also needed by google-gadgets. If you
- do not<br>
- have google-gadgets installed on your system, then there's
- nothing to<br>
- worry about.<br>
- <br>
- Note: you can't remove packages w/ packer</big> <big><br>
