Extend Installation wiki

Hi

The installation wiki is not complete with a remark to update the pacman signatures first.

Please include a note that when trust errors occur on the pacstrap command to first issue:

pacman -Sy archlinux-keyring

before logging a question in the forum or bugs. (like I did)

It would make the installation experience of arch a tad better.

Re: Extend Installation wiki

As I mentioned in your other thread, you only need this if you're using an old ISO

Question: What if the ISO is released on 1/1/17 but due to dev or tu sign an update for the archlinux-keyring on 3/1/17 happend revoking lets say one of the dev keys, in that case an update will need like that example or pacman will detect automagically and not complain??

Pacman in the live environment would still accept those packages.

However, the Installation guide is not the place for workarounds.
