Re: Try to install

What exactly do you see on screen? Do you get a root prompt?

If so then the CD has booted correctly, there is no Arch Linux installer. You just need to follow the instructions in the Beginners Guide.

Yes it boot correctly and I will check and follow the instructions and hope it works. I thought it was a live version of Arch Linux.

Re: Try to install

Re: Try to install

There is no graphic installer for archlinux.  There are many derivative distros that have graphic installers, but if you use them you will not be running archlinux, and we will not be able to help you here.

There are several derivatives that I'd urge you *not* to use - but there is no need to list them here.  If you do want an arch-like system that is easy for new-comers, I'd suggest looking into Chakra.  It's one of the few derivates that doesn't irk me - in fact they seem to have great documentation for users completely new to linux.

Right now I'm using Porteus 3.1 (Slackware base) that is changing over to Arch Linux and I wanted at lease try Arch Linux. I guest I will have to wait and try it. And it will be a live version when it gets release.

Re: Try to install

You can try Arch linux on virtualbox, and this way you learn from beginger guide to install Arch on terminal, it is easy after you read all the guide.
