I'd appreciate your comments on what could be improved!

1. In step 6, its not a bad idea to uncomment multiple mirrors. If a pacman cannot retrieve a package, it can then try the next mirror.

2. In rc.conf, I would put hal after network. It should be started as early as possible.

I think you ought to change the nvidia part to something more generic.

willxtreme · 2010-01-19 18:42:09

Allright changed

there is no "wine" package

anonymous_user · 2010-01-19 19:14:23

Using the repos Wine is only available for i686, if you have x64 you need to install it from the AUR:

yeah, yaourt -S bin32-wine that's what I do. Didn't even know there was a wine package in the repos, since I only use x64.

pacman -S alsa-utils also-oss

That should be 'alsa-oss' shouldn't it

How about some lines on how to set-up Openbox? It's been a while since I used it, but isn't there some easy GUI tools availiable?

anonymous_user · 2010-01-19 23:11:23

obmenu > GUI for menu editing

obconf > GUI for changing themes, adding themes, changing options

obkey (in AUR) > GUI for shortcuts (haven't tried it though)

Added somes lines that should give you a tight start
