Notes on installing Arch Linux from scratch, using LVM partitions.
There's no installer as such; instead, there's a series of tasks carried out on the commandline to partition the disk and bootstrap base packages &c.
Followed the Installation Guide, with forays into other wiki pages to gather configuration options as required.
