Arch Linux

For sometime I have been intrigued with Arch Linux but have not taken the time to figure out how to install it.  One time I tried a installation using the knowledge I had from other distros and found out more knowledge was needed.  I finally took the time to read both the Official Arch Linux Install Guide and The Beginner's Guide and see these guides do a good job of walking a person through their first install.  Both guides are needed to get the complete picture.

With my new found knowledge I have started a net install.  So far I ran into 2 problems: Number one. The first 3 mirrors I chose timed out.  I finally picked one from Australia and it worked fine.  Number 2 I could not figure out how to select packages, the answer is the space bar. (The install guide mentions this)

Hope to have a successful install to write about later.
