Archlinux forums do not support official installation for Raspberry Pi 3. To make the partitions on the SD card follow this link. A useful command is lsblk
to see the partitions on your system. On any linux distro make sure to be careful otherwise you may flash your hard drive.
All steps can be easily applied using sudo
, make sure for the step 5 to login as root using sudo su
.
After making the partitions on the SD card, remove the card from your PC and insert it to the Raspberry Pi. Go to this installation guide and follow the steps.
If you are not planning to make a headless installation login as root
with password root
.
passwd
. Then remove /etc/localtime
file and symlink your local time using ln -s /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Athens /etc/localtime

and change alarmpi
to your Pi's name.
vi /etc/hosts
and change the line 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost yourhostname
