Very disappointed with constant updates

krazybastid · 2008-07-12 19:43:26

My Arch was working for me very well last fall I need the Aug 07 core disk with the Aug 07 core packages because floppy won't install and some other things that are messed up I'm at a point where I'm not even using Arch right now and I really need to get moving on video game development with open gl.

yes

carlocci - ROFL

krazybastid - if you want to get help, please describe specific problems you are experiencing in as much detail as you can. If all you want is the 2007.08 "Don't Panic" ISO, you should really change the topic of this thread.

And finally - if you truly are "Very disappointed with constant updates", perhaps you should consider using a distro with a regular release schedule. Arch is a rolling release distro, therefore there are constant updates.

But I like Pacman it's the best Fedora sux Ubuntu is too regimented If I could port pacman over to Fedora I would but why should I go with out floppy and things that are just beyond me right now. I mean there needs to be more OS's with pacman but not an OS that constantly updates and stuff gets broken.

What's the deal with floppy? Honestly I still don't understand what we're talking about. Is it an inside joke?

krazybastid · 2008-07-12 21:11:37

Ok I guess floppy doesn't matter that much I just want it working on my computer as if I were using windows. But still things are just getting broken. I'm just obsessed with getting everything working.

Perhaps you'd like to share your problems then, in order for them to be resolved? Or is that asking too much.

Was this thread another pointless rant (of which we seem to have many these days in the forums) or a plea for help? If the former, then good for you. If the latter (which I doubt), no one can help you if you don't give any information.

seems to me that he's trolling no?:)

krazybastid · 2008-07-12 21:24:15

I can't explain it it's just things when i do pacman -Syu and things. And just other stuff which one of those other os's does pacman frugalware or slackware i know it's one of those.

iBertus · 2008-07-12 21:31:59

modprobe floppy

dyscoria · 2008-07-12 21:36:47

wget ftp://ubuntu.iso

Hmm well at first this was just a joke, but actually it is perfect. Not quite as constant updates and it just works out of the box. I would recommend this for you!

gothmog.todi · 2008-07-12 22:20:03

If you like pacman but want regular releases, you should try http://frugalware.org/
It seems to meet both requirements.

OK, can somebody explain me the point of the thread so I can participate in helping?

Stythys · 2008-07-12 22:40:18

there is no point =P

But then again, what's the point of having a point?

Go back to windows? If you want to have everything running like it??

I'm going to go ahead and lock this, since there seems to be no specific issue here. The OP has had some opportunities to explain the issue(s), but has not done so. Thread closed.
