Re: arch Linux install / unresolved skipping target: failures

You seem to have missed 2 steps :

update the system clock
Select the mirrors

Where did you download the install iso from and which version is it ?

Disliking systemd intensely, but not satisfied with alternatives so focusing on taming systemd.

(A works at time B)  && (time C > time B ) ≠  (A works at time C)

How did you wipe your drive in the first place? Could you post the commands you used?
