Why did you not list flash install along with CD or DVD in your opening group of commands?

Ehm???
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Beginners'_Guide

Guys, I know you mean well, but that's what we've got the wiki for. If you want to publish your own take on Arch installation, it might be a good idea to get a blog instead. Guides are not really appropriate for the forum.

29. Hit ENTER.

Also Arch is for people who are adept/or at least know the basics of computers, os if you have to tell them to Hit Enter, I think the users are in over their heads by this point.

Maybe we can keep as a "quickie" - Quick'n'Dumb Arch Install.

Re: How to Install Arch Linux... for newbs.

I didn't want to be rude, but we've got a few of these "Arch for Newbies" in TGN and Dustbin already - for good reason, I think.

If the Beginner's Guide is beyond your comprehension, it makes no sense to hold your hand even further.
Get a simpler distro to learn the basics and then come back once you feel comfortable enough.

EDIT: As for keeping it as a quicky: what's wrong with http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Off … tall_Guide

McCordRM - your attempt to contribute is appreciated. Perhaps your next effort will be more in keeping with Arch's principles and philosophy, as detailed in the wiki.

Thread closed - feel free to email me if you wish to discuss this further.
