Finding the Arch Linux installation guide...

...is not the most obvious thing. Couldn't/shouldn't there be a link on the main web page to the Arch Installation Guide, or at least to the docs page?

I've just tried Arch (0.7.2) for the first time, and am finding my way with it quite well so far - but just found it a little irritating to have to hunt around the web site for the installation guide from a 2nd machine (where it wasn't bookmarked yet) while I was installing Arch on another.

Have you tried to turn it off and on again?

Right, I know where it is NOW....I meant as a way to make it easier to find for new users, that's all.

I'm not sure what you mean. The Installation Guide is two clicks away from http://www.archlinux.org/

http://www.archlinux.org/ -> "Documentation English" -> "Installation & First Steps"

Ok, now that I made a fuss about this, it's time to admit that I just didn't see that Documentation section on the home page - thanks for pointing it out - time for some sleep I guess :-)

It took me until after I had already installed/set up to find it. I never knew there was a 'Documentation' section because when I saw 'Wiki / Docs' I assumed that meant that the wiki was the only place for docs. Heh.

Re: Finding the Arch Linux installation guide...

No worries Tomp...I've always the installation guide was a bit hard to track down as well.  I usually just use google and add <code>site:archlinux.org</code> to it.
