Are you wanting to use ARCH INUX as an OS? There should be a download available to do that as with other Linux OS's such as Ubuntu and Kubuntu, check it out on the net. I'm a little unclear as to what you want to do am just assuming. I have used Linux (dual boot) for years and really like it especially the new version of Ubuntu, 11.10, it is a beautiful alternative to Windows. Check them all out, good luck and have fun!
I have the CD to boot from but the system is so different that I am not able open it up , is this a good system to try out or can some one suggest the basic precept as opposed to Windows,I have a PC with XP-3 250 GB disk and 2 GB ram, i really need to walk through the sytem can anyone suggest a plain english "how to "
