I've read the "installation/usage" of larch but I have to say I'm not getting it. Its still kind of confusing and there is no "quick" guide.
eg. step 1, 2, 3. It all seems to involve either one command for usb, one for iso, and one for making from existing system
I installed originally from yaourt but the path was not setup properly and it couldn't find the profiles.
So i used the "setup" program on the site and now it does actually find programs and profiles but it still giving problems.
My problems could probably be fixed by a resume function but I didn't see a command switch for it.
whats happening is after I use "./larchify -p larch/profiles/xmini" it tells me dependancy, and warning it'll install to that home directory.
but on several occassions it fails, and it looks like the script clunks out if one or more packages aren't downloaded.

[root@Desktop ~]#This is without user intervention, or modifications to packages or any other file from larch. I tried again and gotten further but several packages failed and I got the same warning "failed to retrieve some files from larch5". It does not appear exclusively a download issue from berlios.be but I do not want to spam this post with all error msgs.
I kept going, and it resumed the download of packages, then installed and configured them but I gotten another error. Something about two kernels. One called "jumpycursorhack" Is this two packages downloaded and installing, is it installing two by default (eg. reg kernel, debug or fallback)?

[root@Desktop ~]#I hope someone can straighten this up. I'm not sure why, I've read the documents over but its maybee over my head
Or maybee I'm just getting impatient. I wish there was a wiki entry here but there doesn't seem to be any.
Thanks for reading

What helped me with the same situation is ultering the pacman.conf file to contain as less repositories as possible
(kept larch5,core,community and extra and nothing more).
This way it worked.
