Help! I'm stuck at Arch

Sontu,

Welcome to the newsgroup, where there are people who offer plenty of help, but also people who call you names for strange reasons, or behave less civilized for no reason.

To make the best out of this imperfect medium, please observe a few rules of conduct, though, that are popular around here. You are using Google, which fine, but most people here doesn't, and you are adviced to observe the following:

When responding, there is a link below each message, "reply". Don't use it. Near the top of each message there is another link "options". Click it, and a new row of links appears, among them yet another "reply". That one is yours. When you use it, the message you are replying to is automatically copied into the response buffer, so people can know what you are talking about. At this point, your duty is to trim the quotation, remove what is not relevant to your reply, or just excessive.

You asked for help to install Arch (which I don't know, sorry), but writing a whole installation manual on the spot is a bit much. This newsgroup works best when you can ask a little more specific questions. That means, you could for instance, show us a pbuttage from the manual, and ask what it means. If you have tried anything of what the manual said, and received confusing messages, you could show what you did and the messages. Remember, for one, even those who have Arch themselves will probably not remember many details from the installation. That is not something you do every day. On the other hand, the underlying hardware and software is so similar, that most often you can get very good help even if you have a different distro. You only have to be our eyes and ears, since we cannot see your computer screen while you work on it.

If you prefer to try one of the other distros, as some of the posters suggest, you can still come back here if you have any problems.
