Both the Installation Guide and the Beginner's version say to use arch-chroot before configuring. However, when I try to do this, I no longer have access to the commands I need to do the configuration (e.g. sh: nano: command not found). I can use nano from outside of the chroot, but AFAIK locale-gen needs to be run inside, and it relies on sed which is also not present.
I'm surprised this hasn't been brought up before-- have I done something wrong?
EDIT: mkinitcpio is also not available while in arch-chroot

Did you use pacstrap to install the base system (and anything else you want) on your install (usually /mnt) before chrooting? Otherwise, it won't be able to access the resources from the regular install media because it will be outside of the chroot environment.

Hmmm no I did not do this, nor did I see any mention of it on the install guide. It just says to arch-chroot then (after editing a few files) run locale-gen and mkinitcpio, neither of which are accessible within the chroot'd shell.

Admittently, it's easy to miss.

Awesome, thanks. It's not that easy to miss... not sure how I managed that.
