[arch-general] installing
Looks like a nice OS. I am running fedora. I have the tarball and I'm having a little trouble. A directory called "root.x86_64" is created. Do I want an ISO for a first time install? Or is the tarball complete and OK? Bill

What tarball? How's it named and where did you find it? Generally, you want the ISO and prepare the place where you would intend to install arch to [0] [1]. cheers! mar77i [0] https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Beginners%27_guide [1] https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Installation_guide

By tarball, do you mean you downloaded the bootstrap image? [2]

Also this, if you meant the bootstrap tarball, please specify so beforehand. Even though we're willing to help you, you need to be more specific so we can understand what it is that you need help with.

Yes. The tarball that is called "bootstrap" It may be more or less complicated than an ISO. Since I have a linux distro I thought it would be easier. IDK though.

I see. In that case, the link I tagged as [2] should be complementary to either the beginner's guide [0] or the installation guide [1]. I guess there's no easier or harder option, but yeah, they're different in a couple of aspects. Good luck, Bill!
