Possible to access these forums during install process?

Hey All,

Title says it all. Don't expect problems, but only have one computer and prefer not shut-down/reboot to access the forum, and then reboot again to continue with the install, then rinse-and-repeat (as you probably have guessed, I have very clean hair ).

I know that I can access the Beginner's Guide located on the core iso (via vc/2). That is a great help/assurance. Searched through this forum and wiki to see if a text-based browser (links) is part of the core iso - that info eluded me. I guess one option is to DL the iso, and then mount it and have look inside to see if links is there.

Thanks
Cheers

The install ISO is a liveCD so as far as I know if links is not installed you can always do pacman -S links once you have networking setup.

While links is not available, I believe elinks is available on both core and netinst installers.

Thanks for the replies

mikesd: the command is helpful
chpin: elinks will do nicely

Cheers

Install can be done from another Linux too. I have yet to try it but have seen a number of people point to something that is useful:
