Tu gist me ayudo con "Failed to Start Setup Virtual Console". Gracias!

Update

sudo pacman -Syu

I was told (by a dude that does support for Antergos on IRC) that -Syyu is a waste of cpu cycles, as your sources are updated upon installation. Up for debate, because I am very new to arch linux... but if there is conflicting information, we should try to clear it up. :D

Anyhow, cheers. And thank you for this guide.
