Archlinux CD Installation install nothing

ranjiao · 2010-01-14 06:08:41

I just ran /arch/setup to install it from archlinux live cd, everything is ok until I went to the 5th step, Install Packages.
The installation program took some time check the integrity of the packages, and the returned to main menu directly. No error message at all, and nothing was installed.

I have installed archlinux several times, and never met this kind of condition before. Any one know why? Or where I can find install log or sth like that?

Yes it returns to the main menu, then you need to go to the next step and edit your configs!

like I said, nothing was installed, there's no config file at all

- the message you get when you start the installer
- the installers documentation
- the installation guide.

Nothing in my partition, it was empty.

Maybe that's because my 64 bit cd can't pass the integrity check and then it abort installing packages, but the installation program continued as nothing happend.

Hmm, do you have a RW CD/DVD ? If so burn on that and see if it works. There's nothing much we can help you with if the installation doesn't even progress.

I had the (probably) same issue actually during a fresh install about a couple of weeks ago.

I just figured it was my crappy burner (it is really busted) so i tried the 64 bit USB image and it worked like a charm!
