Arch Linux Part 2

Things have been busy lately so I have not had time to post on my experience installing Arch Linux.  I started the install and had made it to Step 4 (Add a user and setup groups) of the Beginners Guide when I ran out of time.  My plan was to take up where I had left off when time allowed.  In the mean time I got a call from the owner of the computer I was installing Arch Linux on.  He had posted the Laptop on Craig's list and someone wanted to buy it, so there went my install.  Then last week got a call from BJ and he mentioned he could no longer boot into Linux Mint.  BJ described the problem like this, "All I get is a black screen with white letters".  I saw my chance to try another install of Arch Linux on his computer.  I have it now and from the error message from the Mint Install looks like his file system is corrupt.  I plan to install Arch in the next few days.
