]]>GPT doesn't have extended partitions anymore and stores things more modern.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GUID_Partition_Table
Also it allows installing grub2 on a grub2 flagged partition, which ensures no 30k MBR limit to install grub2 into.
While partitioning you will be asked to use GPT(only grub2 supports it) or MS-DOS partition table and in bootloader menu you can choose grub, grub2, lilo and syslinux.
GPT is also used by MacOSX IIRC. Do you know if there are any speed improvements between grub and grub2 or between MS-DOS-style and GPT-style?
Zl.
]]>When a new official iso will arrive?
Did you read the first port in this thread?
http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php? … 22#p706822
Actually, my system does not work correctly. The problem is ppp: after the main upgrade (with the replacement of kernel-headers etc) it stops working.
I made all the kinds of experiments, but nothing works.
I hope in the new release everything will work as in the 2009.08 version...
]]>KNOWN ISSUES:
- FTP installation mode:
- Package installation might fail, if packages from extra need to be pulled in, e.g. ntfs-3g etc.
Workaround:
Exit setup and apply following sed line:
sed -e -i 's#prepare_pacman_extra#pacman_conf_extra#g' /arch/setup
Relaunch setup after that.
/arch/./setup
- CD installation mode:
None
Confirm!
Wished I had read through once more before installing this - I kinda panicked because I was using it on my parents' pc and I couldn't just leave the pc broken (I had just removed windows 7 and the recovery partition) and on the other hand there was my gf hurrying me up to get the hell out of there
After I had chosen the CD-installation mode, everything went smoothly. I was hoping for grub2 instead of grub, but that can easily be fixed.
Good work!
