the Arch Linux thread

[hellknight]

Here .. see this.. *bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=132225

I went through this problem a long time back.. Don't know the solution

Particularly, the third post..

Offtopic:- I think that this distro deserves an article in the Digit Magazine now. They can take all the input from our thread. It's been going on since four years.

Tried this?

ln -s /proc/self/mounts /etc/mtab

Guys, I DLed the i686 version. Now I am at the part where it asks for packages, please tell me which ones to install.

Thanks a lot ico

It worked. Sorry I didn't search at Arch Linux forums and all.

Thanks hellknight and LFC_Fan, ico's trick worked.

You can go on with only core. Or if you think (for development needs) you may include core-devel.

Once done with installation, where do I go from there?

Sorry, but how do you get on IRC. I mean, you gave that link last time when the forums went down for maintenance, but I didn't bookmark it then.

What about FF?

Isn't there a way to incorporate this IRC chat page as a widget into the Forum itself? I think it would be much more convenient.

Chatzilla extension...but configuring it can be a bit confusing for first timers.

See Liverpool_fan's signature btw.

 

[Desmond]

Will give it a shot....done plenty of tweaking before.

 

[gopi_vbboy]

wow never knew arch linux runs on ARM 5-7.

 

[hellknight]

I was getting some errors during the bootup. Upon investigating I found out that it was hal that was giving me errors. We no longer need hal now. So please remove it from your system & delete the hal from the rc.conf file.

 

[nims11]

i had removed it long time ago.

 

[Liverpool_fan]

That was a long time ago. Your Arch installation is older than a year or what?

Remove FAM as well if it's still there.
