Code: [Select]

/usr/bin/grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

is the correct one, not /boot/grub.cfg

You are saying the /boot partition is what you are trying to chroot to?
I believe you need to chroot to the main mounting partition not boot.
i.e /dev/sda2 /boot
/dev/sda3 /

Code: [Select]

# mount /dev/sda3 /mnt
# arch-chroot /mnt

Is sdb something like a thumb USB drive you have the arch-bang image in? You are installing to sda (a hard drive?).
Is there any other system on this sda? It would help anyone understand if you can write the exact partition map so we can help with specifics. # blkid
os-prober may not pick up a live image drive, if that is what sdb is.

As far as I can recall arch-bang wasn't developing much and the last 2 isos produced were with arch's systemd standard system. If there is something you really like from AB, why not install artix and then utilize the extra AB repository in your /etc/pacman.conf and install pkg from there? By installing artix-lxqt you get openbox for free

Then add what you like.

There is also an AB forum : https://sourceforge.net/p/archbang/discussion/

I cant see any openrc / artix versions anymore on archbangs sourceforge page only systemd.

Im pretty sure the installer (Jeff Story's creation, developed by Carl Duff) was only intended for systemd to begin with so maybe as artix matures mr green may have a solution to the installer that is specific to artix and openrc. http://grgaud.blogspot.com/2015/09/architect-commnd-line-arch-installer.html

I remember using the exact same installer on pacbang linux.

I do what fungalnet mentions from the base install, just openbox it to run like archbang if you want or the other myriad of configuarations available.

1st thing i do is make sure xorg is working and i have all the needed files installed then install openbox or jwm or whatever window manager then install the rest and configure.

Ok, I stand corrected, there is no archbang repository. I use openbox myself all the time so I never got interested in it as I am settled in my ways. Archbang is pretty much arch with openbox, firefox, autologin no passwd sudo, a bg, tint2 panel, a customized obmenu with the installer added, many fonts and icons, pcmanfm-gtk3 for background and desktop icons, maybe a couple of scripts for long commands but the "editmirror" didn't actually work, and that's it.

Just tried the thing (abinstaller) on vm, and option one about partitioning was very uneasy, too many preconditioned options that doesn't allow much space for simplicity. So this is what I did.
I formatted a small partition 3-4GB is plenty in ext4 from archbang live. Let's say it is /dev/sda2
Then from terminal

Code: [Select]

# sudo mount /dev/sda2 /mnt
# sudo cp -ax  /  /mnt
# sudo arch-chroot /mnt
# passwd ablive
# passwd       <---  for root

edit the mirrorlist like the guide on desktop says

# sudo pacman -Syy
# sudo pacman -S linux     <--- to install an actual kernel - the live kernel will not boot on an installation
# sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
# sudo grub-install /dev/sda
# exit  <--- chroot
# sudo reboot

And that is it (exept if you want efi/uefi crap and separate /boot partition, which means you have to make a small partition separately and mount the /boot and populate it appropriately, you must know better

After that you are on your own of course unless you are going to "immediately" convert to artix (or obarun or hyperbola) and follow the instructions on how to remove "the crap" from your installation.

You left manjaro to be looking for more "crap" elsewhere
