You sir need to learn how to use spacing between sentences.  When you finish a sentence, after punctuating press the space bar firmly twice before beginning a new sentence.

Short & useful answer: You can't use Arch on a Pentium 1, everything is compiled for i686.

Long & grumpy answer: Omule, invata sa scrii. Umbla cu OOWriter-ul dupa tine si scrie acolo intai mesajele si da-i un spellcheck, ce naiba. Ne faci pe toti de rht.

Re: Really need your help

Take it as a friendly advice, not an insult. And mind the language plskthx, we're not pulling on each other's underwear here. You don't get any results if people don't know what you're saying. That includes not understanding or simply ignoring the question because of bad writing. And since this is going a bit off-topic, let's put an end to it here.
