Re: installing lxde from the installation disc after installing the base

From http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Beg … ase_System:

Both the Core and the Netinstall images provide only the necessary packages to create an Arch Linux base system. Note that the Base System does not include a GUI. It is mainly comprised of the GNU toolchain (compiler, assembler, linker, libraries, shell, and utilities), the Linux kernel, and a few extra libraries and modules.

So you'll have to go online, do a

pacman -Syu

and then follow instructions here:
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/LXDE

However, before you do that, make sure you've got X installed. See here: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Beg … igure_ALSA

Re: installing lxde from the installation disc after installing the base

Gowireless, you have clearly not solved your sudo problem either. Since it is apparent that you need somebody to spell out the instructions step by step, I will post the instructions here.

1. Go to wiki.archlinux.org

2. Click on the beginner's guide button.

3. Read through and follow it carefully!

To use Arch Linux, you must read the documentation. A user without a clue of how Arch Linux works will not be able to install successfully. Arch does not hold your hand, and although it's community is helpful, it does expect you to have read the corresponding documentation. There is a plethora of information in the ArchWiki, but you seem to have chosen to ignore it. Arch Linux users are not tolerant of someone who creates an entirely new thread to answer a question answered in the wiki or elsewhere on the forums. Please don't be that person.
