Install arch, reboot

the idea is to install what you want before you reboot
that said, base does include everything needed to get online, including iputils and dhcpcd

The wiki doesn't say that base doesn't give you iw by default, because it sucks

Imagine deciding NOT to give users basic tools to connect to the internet by default

iw, wireless_tools, and wpa_supplicant aren't there

Let me know when you connect to wifi without iw

desktop users, servers, and VMs don't need iw. Similarly, servers don't usually need graphics drivers. Should those be packages with base too?

wpa_supplicant -B -i interface -c /path/to/config
wpa_cli -i interface

You're retarded

so install it?

i'll let you know if i use wifi outside of my cellphone

imagine knowing you need wifi, and not installing tools to connect to wifi
then imagine complaining about it on a guyanese yam-harvesting emporium

what next "it doesn't even come with sudo!"?

great examples, thanks for the explanation

I still blame the wiki for not having a note like that

not installed by default, same to you

I'm pretty sure it is m8y, unless it's in base-devel

>reboot into arch usb
>mount your shit again
>chroot
>pacman -Syu dialog
>next time remember to pacstrap /mnt base dialog vim tmux wpa_supplicant

wpa_supplicant isn't part of base/base-devel

>not installed by default, same to you
Nigger, not even Debian has any wireless tools in minimal installation, what the fuck are you crying about? Don't fucking install turbo minimalistic distros if you want shit out of the box.

Try the command wifi-menu

holy shit I just realized you are probably running the wpa_supplicant command itself

read about wifi-menu and netctl, it will make your life less shitty

mostly my fault; I wasn't aware just how bare-bones it was

yes, that worked

completely your fault
you even see exactly what is being downloaded/installed on your screen as it's being installed
base doesn't contain that many things, that's the point, it is the base, anything that is reasonable to call optional is committed. not everyone uses wifi

to be fair though the base meta package on arch is bloated to shit, something like 700mb
it really should include wpa_supplicant

ommited*

wpa_supplicant most certainly IS in the base installation of debian (netinst with no package groups selected)

so I suppose what would be nice is if the installation page on the wiki had a quick note like "like wifi? remember to install iw"

idk if anyone really gets tripped up by this, though

Minimal Debian is debootstrapping minbase, not netinstall. And no, wpasupplicant is marked as neither essential nor required, so it most cetainly isn't in base installation either.

but it is tho
t. have installed debian netinst many, many times

systemctl enable dhcpcd
daz it
the wiki is dogshit, fuck off

It isn't. What's likely happening is tasksel adds it for you automatically together with some other packages as part of extra target such as laptop install. If you bootstrap manually instead of using installer you won't get it.

I am pretty sure it does you retarded inbred fuckwit degenerate school shooting faggot.

t. arch user

Legit the best wiki compared to any other distro

Why not just use netctl lol?

use Antergos or Manjaro. same shit, just better base to build upon. Arch's "base quality" went shit when they decided to drop the installer for no reason.

Arch is a waste of time. Just use Windows. The retards here aren't productive
