Some newbie feelings...

Hi,

I've just start to play with Arch and it looks great but there are several points I don't understand:
- Why is Arch so far away from the File Hierarchy Standard ?
- Why Arch requires "ed" as a dependency of "patch" since "sed" is already there ?
- and what about the need of the "klibc" packages ?

That's said, Arch really looks like a really good distro.

Can you be more specific?

Pass.

- and what about the need of the "klibc" packages ?

They're used for early user space and the initramfs thing

Try jacking up on coffee and slapping your misses on the behind while making manly jungle man noises. That'll get things going on the right foot.
