Installing linux for use with a virtual pc.

[.Maleficus.]

Ok, I'll look in to both of those as time permits. I actually had the Gentoo handbook printed out once but my ink cartridges died and the last half of it was unreadable. I'll probably look in to arch though if it prides it self on being light-weight. Does arch install X for me or do i get to do it myself?

You can have it install for you, but they recommend doing a base install (nothing but the most basic packages for a bootable install) which doesn't include X.

My Fedora install is still effed, so maybe I'll try out Arch. If you aren't installing until the weekend, I can probably tell you how it goes, how much time is needed...

Alright. I can probably wait till the weekend. I need time to dig up some instructions,download and burn disk's, etc.

If you go ahead with it, let me know.

Thanks : )

I tried to install Arch today. Install went fine, but booting it gave me an ACPI error, and I don't have the time to work on it now. I was probably missing a kernel module, but I'm just installing Ubuntu 7.10. I imagine if you read the documentation enough, you'll be fine with the install, but I was rushed, and need something that just "works", which Arch is not.
