you need a working mirror first and rate-mirros doesn’t work as expected.

i suggest, use the “arch way” for installation

  1. you can use all graphical tools for necessary preperation
  2. Installation guide - ArchWiki
    2.1) the necessary tools are on the live-image

ok, the arch way isn’t comfortable as calamares but it is very reliable :slight_smile:
