Installing arch - internet via openVPN

Hi guys,

I finally want to install arch. However, I can only establish a internet connection via openVPN (the university provides internet service at my dorm). So how do i do this?

How I would do it:
Stop dhcpcd service (necessary?)
Identify Ethernet controller and activate it (both steps according to this.
Install openVPN from USB stick if necessary (I read somewhere that openVPN is available on the install media?)
Establish openVPN connection according to uni's instructions

But what do I do once I installed the base system and chrooted? Which one of the following is the correct one? Plus I need to install openVPN via pacman -S openvpn, right?

Thanks for your help, I hope I can finally use arch soon!
