Due to which when I start installing VM I just can’t do other work on same laptop. So now-a-days, while doing a fresh installation of distro’s like Arch, Slackware, etc.

I just boot into VM, configure SSH, then just remotely access the VM from my desktop computer and start the installation while doing other work on my desktop computer. I know it’s not so smart idea, but the fact is it just works for me.

Today, while I was doing a fresh install of Arch for creating a file-server (yes I use rolling distros on servers), I felt why shouldn’t I write a tutorial about it. Thus, in this tutorial, I am going to do an installation of Arch without any graphical enviroment. If you wish to install any graphical envoirment, just follow this Arch Wiki after rebooting your system.įor the purpose of writing this tutorial I am using archlinux-2017.10.01-x86_64 iso image. Systemctl start sshd 5.Check IP address of virtual machine Create New Virtual Machine and boot into Arch LinuxĬheck if “permit root login” is present and uncommented in “/etc/ssh/sshd_config” And for demonstration I am going to install Arch in VM and going to ssh using my laptop’s terminal emulator.įor successfully installing Arch, type/ paste following commands in VM and terminal emulator. Connect to Virtual machine over SSH via terminal (IP address of my virtual machine is 192.168.0.107) 6. Ssh we are connecting to this VM for first time, it will ask for adding our VM’s IP address to its known host’s list. type “yes” and enter VM’s root password which we have set in step 2. Install Arch Linux in VM Ping Google to check internet connection. Mkdir /mnt/boot /mnt/var /mnt/home Mount Boot Partition Select DOS and create partitions according to your need.
