Problems during installation

Hi, I want to install it on dev/nvme0n1p6, I'm receiving an error message during the installation, I'm probably doing something wrong, I have 1TB with Ubuntu and Windows on it, the dev/nvme0n1p6 (that is 100GB) already contains the Linux filesystem.
I attach some photos (where can I attach the photos?), please help, thank you. PP

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

clean chroot building not flexible enough ?
Try clean chroot manager by graysky

Re: Problems during installation

The partition you picked for installation is approx. 240MB, not 100GB. My advice is to not use the arch installer tool, but follow the official and supported installation guide that you do manually; that way you know exactly what is going on at all times. The Arch Installer is better suited for experienced Arch users that need to do a series of automated installs.

Re: Problems during installation

sure, where is the manual installation? (here the link: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Installation_guide) the partition is 100GB, I'm sure about it. I cannot post you any pictures, I don't know why in this forum you can't post any pictures, how the people in this forum can help me if I cannot post the problem? I can't write any single problem, I must show you some pictures about the problem.

Re: Problems during installation

Don't post pictures of commands/output. First., make sure you start at step 1.1 and then work your way down to Partition the disks. Using code tags, post the output of that first command. Read Pasting without a dedicated client on how to get that output copy-pasted from a system that doesn't have a working browser and clipboard yet.

If you're truly not using the Guided Installer anymore and switched to the official supported Installation Guide, click the "Report" button on your first post and ask a mod to move it to Newbie Corner, you'll get a lot more eyes on the problem.
