[arch-general] talking arch disk and instructions were both outdated here
I'll have to download a newer copy of the talking arch disk among other things that takes account of pacstrap and uses the arch scripts rather than the framework to install archlinux. The braille instructions I made are also outdated so I'll fix that after some reading. Earlier this morning I got through the partitioning and formatting of a hard drive and since the material I have on archlinux on this end is that outdated, I decided to install debian on the large hard drive only archlinux could install on earlier. Debian would always thrash the disk before. This time no disk thrashing. Apparently use of archlinux to give debian some clues worked. I'll put archlinux on some of my smaller drives in the future when I figure out how to do that now that the talking archlinux I have no longer finds grub to install it. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Hardware eventually fails; software eventually works, no amount of band width can fix poor design Jude <jdashiel-at-shellworld-dot-net> <http://www.shellworld.net/~jdashiel/nj.html>

No clue what you are talking about, but the new install iso is documented here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_Install_Scripts -- Jelle van der Waa

Chris Brannon just released a new iso of the talking arch system: http://the-brannons.com/tarch/ Greetings, Pierre -- Pierre Schmitz, https://pierre-schmitz.com
According to Pierre Schmitz: #Chris Brannon just released a new iso of the talking arch system: #http://the-brannons.com/tarch/ The wiki instructions for installing the Talking Arch system have also been updated here[1]. With the exception of a couple of things you need to do with Speakup to ensure it starts talking at boot time, the standard installation guide[2] and the Beginners Guide[3] should take you all the way from talking install media to a fully functional talking system. Note that as in the older install media, both Lynks and Elinks are included to allow you to read the online documentation.

The whole world knows it. This e-mail shows it.
