familiarity with the Arch [Beginner's Guide][2] and [Installation Guide][3].
It will provide a system with full-disk encryption using [LVM on LUKS][4].
There is no separate `/boot` partition. The entire installation is encrypted
and booted via [Grub's crypto hooks][5].
Two methods are presented here, the more traditional "BIOS mode", where
there is no separate `/boot` partition. The entire installation is encrypted
and booted via [Grub's crypto hooks][5]. The second method is "UEFI mode" which
will use a GPT and show you how to make [separately-encrypted boot and root partitions][6],
while only /boot/efi is left unecrypted.
On newer systems, disable UEFI / enable BIOS ("legacy") mode.
Use your system's setup interface to choose UEFI or legacy/BIOS mode as appropriate.
On some newer systems (e.g. Dell XPS 15), set SATA operation mode to AHCI.
Boot into the Arch installer.
