Problem with system config "@^@^@^@^@"
Hello, newbie here (to the forums and to linux in general). I have been trying to install archlinux on my virtual machine for the past few days, following tutorials on youtube and on the archwiki, and I have hit a snag.
After installing the packages, I go down to configuration and hit system config. On the tutorials normally people are allowed to configure their time or boot as DCHP, but for me all I get when I go into system config is one line of code that looks like this: @^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@
and it just keeps going. What does this mean? Does it mean I messed up a step in the installation process? Or should I not worry about it?

Nevermind, I seem to have gotten it to work through trial and error, though sadly I can't seem to remember what I did different. ha.

Re: Problem with system config "@^@^@^@^@"
Welcome to the forum Decommissioner!
Did you use earlier Unix-like systems, like BSDs, Mac e.g. ?
Why did you choose Archlinux?
Which file do you mean under sysconfig ?
Maybe ArchWiki will be the best friend in the early days.
Good Luck!
