# GreenBANG Project Guide Welcome to **GreenBANG Project**, a lightweight Arch-based live ISO. Visit: [www.archbang.org/Guide](http://www.archbang.org/Guide) > **Note:** > Please **do not** post issues or problems related to ArchBang on the Arch Linux forums. > At best, your thread will be closed; at worst, it will be deleted. --- ## Pacman (Live Session) To use `pacman` or a browser in the live session, you need a working network connection. - **Wired (Ethernet)** connections work automatically. - **Wireless** connections can be configured via the network icon on the panel: - Left-click the icon - Select your network from the list - Enter your Wi-Fi password --- ## Installation Tips and Tricks If your live session runs out of disk space, you can remount the live filesystem with more space: ```bash sudo mount -o remount,size=8G /run/archiso/cowspace ``` --- ## Installation To begin installation: 1. Right-click on the desktop 2. Select **Install** from the main menu The installer is menu-driven and easy to follow. > Need help with partitions? > Use **GParted**, available via the Openbox menu under **Settings**. --- ## Post-Install Steps ### 🧠 Microcode Notice GreenBANG includes **both** `intel-ucode` and `amd-ucode` microcode packages to support a wide range of CPUs. You only need **one**, depending on your processor. > ⚠️ **Important:** > If you remove a microcode package **after installation**, and your bootloader references it, your system **may fail to boot**. > Only remove the unused one if you are comfortable editing your bootloader entries. > 💡 After removal, update your bootloader configuration to reflect the change (e.g., regenerate GRUB or edit `loader.conf` if using systemd-boot). --- ### Ensure You Have a Network Connection Refer to the instructions in the **Pacman Live** section above if needed. ### Initialize Pacman `pacman` will not work until keys are initialized. Run the following: ``` gb-pacman-keys ``` This will: - Create keys - Refresh the package cache - Update the `archlinux-keyring` --- ### Basic Package Usage Search for packages: ```bash sudo pacman -Ss``` Install a package: ```bash sudo pacman -S ``` --- ## Need Help?
