Beginning installation
I am using KVM (a virtual machine manager like Virtual Box or VMWare). I create a sparse 30GB empty partition in which to install Arch Linux and attach the Arch Linux ISO.
I boot up OK into Arch Linux shell from the ISO image.
Am I correct that from here I will be on the command line and using tools to make the various partitions and install Arch Linux? There is no GUI or a curses type character "GUI" to take care of installation tasks?

Re: Beginning installation
Yes: that is how the installation works.
See the Beginners' Guide for the details...

Re: Beginning installation
Thanks, folks. I wanted to know that I had the right idea. Will do as you list.
I am interested in Arch because this forum comes up so often when I search for other linux problems. There seems to be a fantastic base of support and a good community.

Thank you.
One of the really great things about Arch is that the users do have to configure their systems rather than having some unseen hand do it for them. In the end, users really know how their systems are set up. And, in my opinion, it takes no more effort.
