Click to expand...

As per FAQ.
For this reason, releases are not terribly important in Arch, because the rolling-release system makes new releases out of date as soon as a package has been updated. If you are looking to obtain the latest Arch Linux release, you do not need to reinstall. You simply run the pacman -Syu command and your system will be identical to what you would get with a brand-new install.

For this same reason, new Arch Linux releases are not typically full of new and exciting features. New and exciting features are released as needed with the packages that are updated, and can be obtained immediately via pacman

Re: The Dark Side :Arch Linux

me going to install it within few hours,
can someone fetch me a tutorial to install berkeley db on arch and gcc 3.3 ?

I have a partition of 13GB (/) formatted as ext 3 and currently SUSE 11 is installed so what do i select in partition manager during installation ? Remember I just want to overwrite the 13GB (/) with arch install, i don't want swap or /boot partition.

I found both gcc 3.3 and Berkeley on Arch when I ran

yaourt -Ss gcc3
yaourt -Ss berkeley

It seems both the packages are available to install. Removing the second S on the switch would install the above packages. Of course you would have to have yaourt setup for this to work also.

Edit: Sorry I was AFK when you came to IRC. If you don't edit etc/hosts or rc.conf properly you won't be able to connect to the net. You need to configure eth0 properly and have the same host name in both the files. The beginner guide shows the lines which you need to edit.

Welcome to the Cult :D. You should also install yaourt and configure it. To avoid the huge downloads you could have downloaded fluxbox its only like 9-12 mb download. However xorg is like 50 MB. After you take care of that be sure to check out the post installation tips also. Don't forget to post a screenshot in the screenshot thread too :)

If you are using the 64 bit install I could send you a copy of the packages I downloaded I have like 1 GB of downloads.
