Not the right attitude, my friend! Kinda sucks actually. I'm very familiar with command lines and can always handle clear instructions. I'm going to say this again. The instructions I was pointed to were not clear. Steve On 2019-03-22 21:49, Doug Newgard via arch-general wrote: > On Fri,

No reading at all isn't necessarily what I'm after. Like I said, I can follow and appreciate clear instructions. I need to end up with a distro that has good driver support, and very low resource utilization and gets me to a GUI in 20 steps or less, which are clear steps. Ubuntu being virtual

If you're just looking for an easy install, I could maybe recommend ArchBang. It comes with a graphical interface and a relatively easy installer that doesn't really require any external reading. Luke On Fri, Mar 22, 2019 at 08:23:16PM -0600, st...@vwebr.net wrote: > Was reading a bit on your si

Was reading a bit on your site and you do have volumes of stuff to go through, but I just don't have the time right now. I have to get this Intel Compute Stick up and running this weekend so I can make a buying decision on 10 more. Once I get the basic, minimum installation done, I can handle u

My apologies, but the instructions aren't clear at all. I don't know where in the instructions the event I'm seeing is taking place. I'm seeing a prompt but it's not obvious what to put there even from the instructions. I not completely sure what is going on there. My guess is that it's trying

Hi Steve, that *is* the booted Arch ISO. There is no graphical installer (which you presumably expect). Follow https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/installation_guide to continue from the shell prompt. Regards, Khorne March 22, 2019 11:19 PM, st...@vwebr.net wrote: > Hello Everyone, > > I f

Hello Everyone, I followed the instructions to use DD mode in Rufus and I got much further in the boot process than the first couple times I tried. A few screens of info passed by...before it didn't even get halfway down the first screen of info. That's good progress in my book. However it st
