Can I install arche in "safe" way from other worki

Can I install arche in "safe" way from other working distro?
Like Debootstrap for example.
I don't like regular install that I don't have control of the installation procees and It work as root alone so It's need very careful in the partition level.
It is possible?

    Did you import an old iPhoto library into this one? It sounds like you did - NEVER import an iPhoto library - it does not work and creates a massie mess
    If that is wha tyou did and you still have the old library available drag the bad library to the desktop for now and drag the old library to your ictures folder (No Importing Involved) and launch iPhoto - it will open the library and upgrade as needed - once you are sure your photos are safe and at least one backup cycle has run you can trash the bad library on the desktop

  • After restoring my new iPhone5 I can't install my apps onto it from iTunes.

    After restoring my new iPhone5 I can't install my apps onto it from iTunes.

    Update Server
    Try:
    - Powering off and then back on your router.
    - iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
    - Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
    Public DNS — Google Developers
    OpenDNS IP Addresses
    - For one user uninstalling/reinstalling iTunes resolved the problem
    - Try on another computer/network
    - Wait if it is an Apple problem
    Also, for not enough space, remove from your iTunes library media that is on the iPod that yo do not need so it can't be restored to the iPod

    The questions is simple,
    I want to buy Mac OS X Lion and install it on my macbook. I am using OS X Tiger 10.4.11. The problems is that it seems that in order to instal OS X Lion it is necessary to have the last version of OS X 10.5 (Snow Leopard).

    The ne
    The new machine has Mavericks which is fine. And I will leave it as is. I don’t want anything from my old machine other than 2 apps that I will need on the new one. I want to be able to install those apps that I bought from the App Store onto my new computer. I assume Apple doesn’t want me to have the apps installed on 2 machines at the same time so I wonder if just uninstalling them from my old machine will release them for re-install on the new one.

    The mobile version of Firefox for Android requires a processor that supports the ARMv7 architecture, the LG Optimus P500 does not meet that requirement, it supports the ARMv6 architecture.

    Can I install 10.6 OS X from USB drive? Imac 2008 24"

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    You can, but it's a bit difficult because you have to copy the Snow Leopard disc content to a USB drive. There are a lot of pages which have got the steps to install Mac OS X Snow Leopard from the USB drive, like this page > http://www.maciverse.com/install-os-x-snow-leopard-from-usb-flash-drive.html

    I;m running win7 64-bit and I can;t install Java in Firefox 4. Java works fine with IE.

    On Java, I think we've covered the basics. There are a couple of other articles that might help:

    [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Plugin_scanning Plugin scanning - MozillaZine Knowledge Base] (you would want to make sure it is ''not'' disabled; in about:config, filter on plugin.scan and see whether anything has been changed from its default)
    On Norton, there are a number of recent threads here, but I have not been reading them. Hopefully someone has posted the answer.

  • Can I install Adobe Reader to a drive other than the C: drive?

    Can I install Adobe Reader to a drive other than the C: drive?

    Hello there,
    Welcome to Adobe Community. Yes it can be installed on a different drive. Though some of the files installed by it will still be installed on C: drive.
    When you run the installer, use 'Change destination folder' at the bottom of the panel
    If you already have Adobe Reader installed on the C: drive, you must uninstall it before installing a new version on a different location.
    Thanks!

  • Can I install Calendar Server on another partition other than root file system

    Can I install Calendar Server on another partition other than / ?
    <P>
    In this version, the default path is hard coded to install in
    /users/unison. However, if you do not have enough room on your root
    partition or choose to install it in another location, you can do so
    using a logical link. The installation guide explains this as well.
    <P>
    For example, suppose you want /users/unison, which must NOT already
    exist, to be logically linked to /var/opt/unison, which must exist.
    Then as root user:
    <P>
    <UL>
    <LI>
    Create the directory /users (if it does not already exist)
    <P>
    % mkdir /users
    <P>
    <LI>
    Create the logical link. The directory /users/unison must
    NOT exist before doing this.
    <P>
    % ln -s /var/opt/unison /users/unison
    </UL>
    <P>
    <P>

    makes a lot of sense.  I am looking for an answer myself.  My documents folder long ago outgrew it's place on the boot drive.  It would be nice to keep it in the user folder organized on another disc

  • Can't install Arch (SOLVED)

    Hello everyone. I'm already an Arch user and I'm very happy with it. The problem is that now I'm trying to install another Arch on another HD (to try out KDE4 without breaking my previous Arch install).
    The problem is that everytime I want to install Arch everything goes fine but then when I want to boot with that HD I get GRUB's errors. Sometime is just that GRUB can't find the kernel image and sometime not even GRUB is able to start up (it frezes saying nonsenses). I'm starting to doubt about the HD. Could it have the MBR broken (I mean phisically)?
    On the other hand, when I log in the working Arch install I can see all the partitions and the files in them (GRUB files, / files, etc.). Also I ran "fsck -f" and it says everything is alright....
    Any ideas of what could be the problem ?
    Thanks.

    Sorry, I forgot to mention something important. My motherboard comes with a boot menu incorporated. Something like an integrated "GRUB". It lets me choose from which HD I want to boot so I really don't need to put all my OSes in the same GRUB. I just install them as if they were on the only HD in the PC. That way each HD is completely transparent to each other.
    Anyway, here it is the menu.lst from the non working HD.

  • How can I install Arch Linux on a software raid?

    Hi Guys, I've been at this for 3 days now and I can't get it to work. Basically I have 2 500GB SATA HDDs and I want them both on a raid1 array. I had it working on Ubuntu with no issues but the installer did all the work for me. I have attempted to follow the instructions on the wiki for Raid and LVM but I quickly get lost and I don't understand the LVM stuff. I managed to get 2 arrays up (md0 for /boot and md1 for /) but I was contently running into errors trying to install grub. In my last attempt I somehow managed to get grub installed on /dev/sda and /dev/sdb but then when I reboot the system it fails to mount /dev/md0 or /dev/md1 these raid devices don't appear in the /dev/ directory and I cannot bring them up manually. I have been all over Google and I can't find a comprehensive guide to setting up a raid 1 array and installing Arch. If anyone can direct me to useful instructions or layout the procedure for me I would really appreciate it.
    Thank You.

    This is genius, sheer brilliance. When I wanted to raid my Ubuntu install I specifically wanted to install a new HDD and just raid it with my existing disk but I had to download and alternate install CD and re-install the OS. I searched all over the net for an alternative and could not find anything. It's baffling that I had to start a thread to find such an insanely useful utility. Unless I'm taking the wrong approach. I mean, doesn't everybody raid if they can? Is there a better way to backup your disk? Why is it so difficult to find any useful information about raiding your disks? ... but I digress. Despite the fact that nobody else seems to know about this tool I know about it now and it seems to be the key to solving my problem. But I still have one problem. I have installed Arch on /dev/sda1. I downloaded (with wget), compiled, installed, and ran raider. I followed the on-screen instructions to the letter. When I swapped the disks and rebooted. I get pass the grub screen and get this error during boot.
    Waiting 10 seconds for device /dev/md1 ...
    Root device '/dev/md1' doesn't exist. attempting to creat it.
    ERROR: Unable to determine major/minor number of root device '/dev/md1'.
    You are being dropped to a recovery shell.
    Type 'exit' to try and continue booting
    /bin/sh: can't access tty; job control turned off
    [ramfs /]#
    I cannot type anything at this prompt. No response from the keyboard. I'm so close to getting this to finally work. Dose anyone know what might be going wrong.
    Thank you guys for all your help.

  • Can't install arch in vmware fusion , /dev/tty7 error

    I have the latest vmware fusion ,I downloaded the i686 core iso image. 
    I use vmware fusion (the latest)  i select the default options , when I get to setup if i select "auto prepare harddrive" it fails and tells me to see /dev/tty7 which I can't .
    So i manually partition, and then when I select files to install I get the error "cannot start pacman see /dev/tty7"
    So i thought maybe the disc image was bad, Ive downloaded the iso from different sites/sources with the same problem. It would seem vmware should be the easiest to install to.
    I read the wiki but I don't understand, I have no other issues installing other linux distros in vmware fusion.

    Ok got past the auto partition error issue, instead of selecting the first option to install arch from the live disc, select the 2nd option for IDE with no sata drivers in vmware fusion. I think it takes care of both problems
