[SOLVED] Installation through University network

Hello guys,

I am using an internet connection from the University at my place. There is no special configuration needed to use it, but after starting the web browser you have to log in using your student number and password.
I would like to install Archlinux on my system, but I don't know how since there is no GUI included on the CD.

Maybe you know how I can get a working internet connection?
Thx!

Sounds like an http proxy.
You might need to set some environment variables so you can authenticate properly.
I think all the info you need is here https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Proxy

Hey,

thx for this. I will check it.

I noticed that "links" is in the core rep. That means this text web browser is on the core-iso? Is "elinks" or "links" also included on the netinstall-iso? I could not find these information...

Re: [SOLVED] Installation through University network

It should be possible to include a text browser in the core installation but it's easy to forget and hard to find in this long list.

But you can download the w3m (and gc, its only dependency not in the core installation) packages manually from a mirror to a USB stick and install it with pacman -U then.

it's optional on the core iso, you have to manually click the check box [i think "base" is all that is default, not all of core]

Re: [SOLVED] Installation through University network

Everything worked fine since elinks is already on the netinstall-version wink
