Anyway, here are some things I learned while installing Artix.</p> 16 <h2>Setting the Disk Label Type</h2> 17 <p>On Legacy BIOS systems, it is easier to install Artix when the disk label type of the drive that Artix is being installed on is <code>dos</code> instead of <code>gpt</code>. This can be changed using <code>fdisk /dev/sdX</code> with the <code>o</code> command.</p> 18 <p>Note that creating a new label will remove the data on the partition. Tools like testdisk can be used for recovering partitions.</p> 19 <p>Make sure that the boot partition, the first partition, is made bootable with the <code>a</code> command.</p> 20 <h2>Connecting to Wi-Fi</h2> 21 <p>If iw and wifi-menu are not installed, run the following commands:</p> 22 <pre> 23 connmanctl 24 connmanctl> enable wifi 25 connmanctl> agent on 26 connmanctl> scan wifi 27 connmanctl> services 28 connmanctl> connect wifi_what_your_service_path_is</pre></article> 29 <footer> 30 <hr> 31 <a href="/">Home Page</a></footer> 32 </body> 33 </html>
