On my third go-around I select the CD for my source instead of the net and I get past that error. Still something they should be careful with. It looks like it may have been a problem with the repo. ![]() Eventually it gets rolled back and we can finally create some partitions again. Before rebooting I go in there and mess with all the stuff. ![]() I’ll try a reboot and see if that fixes the problem. Right now if I’m trying to install this on my main machine I’m thinking that Arch Linux sucks. Arch Linux dies if the repo doesn't have the base-devel optionĪfter that it refused to partition again and kept erroring out. After I partitioned, it died when I tried to select packages.

They seem to have a similar aesthetic to Gentoo in that the main mission of Arch is to build your operating system from the ground up. I’ve been wanting to try Arch Linux for quite some time now.
