I am planning on installing Arch on my Dell XPS L502x but i'm not sure which packages i'll need for my hardware (wireless, processor, and graphics card) the thing that troubles me the most is the graphcis card. Does anyone have any information regarding this?

During install I just pick 'base' and install all the rest when I have the system running.

I installed arch on my dell xps 15, same configuration as yours except graphics card is GT540

select packages, wireless-tools, net-tools, netcfg

the wirless card will be detected automatically and you are ready to go

Arch Linux
