[Solved] Nooby Install Issues

hi im new to Arch, coming up from ubuntu and I have a couple of questions.

you see I'm installing Arch on a really bad laptop. The reason why it is bad is due to its low ram specs and even in XP it refuses to run wifi. my two questions are theses:

1. Will it be able to run on a laptop with only 128mb ram?
2. Will it be able to install if it doesn't run the internet?

If you happen to have some solutions, please help me.
And if you want to, please be sure to mention how nooby my questions are and how many times you have seen them before '

Thanks in advance

1) Yes
2) Yes, as long as you don't use ftp install

Windows was made for looking at success from a distance through a wall of oversimplicity. Linux removes the wall, so you can just walk up to success and make it your own.

It'll install with no internet connection, but won't be very useful.
