Installation Guide/Finalize

1 Update the system

If you installed via the ARM Release Tarball, the RISC-V Release Tarball, or one of the "Complete" LiveISOs, you could upgrade the fresh system now. Otherwise, the fresh system is already up-to-date. Regardless, it is always safe to upgrade the system; and it is recommended to do so at least once per month.

Before upgrading the system for the first time, or anytime when a few months has past between upgrades, ensure that you have the current key-rings first:

armv7h systems:

 # pacman --needed -Syy archlinux-keyring parabola-keyring archlinuxarm-keyring

i686 systems:

 # pacman --needed -Syy archlinux-keyring parabola-keyring archlinux32-keyring

x86_64 systems:

 # pacman --needed -Syy archlinux-keyring parabola-keyring

Then upgrade the system:

# pacman -Syu

2 Un-mount and reboot

Exit the chroot, then un-mount any partitions which you mounted in the "Mount the partitions" step. Then you can reboot and login to the new system normally.

# exit
# swapoff /dev/<DEV_PART_4>    # if you mounted a swap partition (eg: /dev/mmcblk0p4)
# umount /mnt/boot             # if you mounted a separate /boot partition
# umount /mnt/home             # if you mounted a separate /home partition
# umount /mnt                  # you surely mounted a / partition
# reboot
