Arch 0.7.1 FTP install only CD ISO

Hi there
i was sick of downloading the whole base cd when i was going to use FTP install anyway.
So i decided to modify the cd and made a FTP install only cd.
i dont know if someone did it before .. whatever
its nothing big just a really tiny modification in the installer.
but maybe someone is interested
here is it:
5c131d6553d703ba1c85157cca54bb6e arch-0.7.1-netinstall.iso
http://freesw.de/arch-0.7.1-netinstall.iso 11.839.488 Bytes
hope it might be useful to someone.
greets

yes its only about 12 megs
and yes its enough
thats just the standard arch cd without the packages on it and a small modification to the installer script
maybe ill make an image for USB pen drives as well

How to install only selected version of packages for stability ?

i want a stable distro. but i also dont want leave arch and its aur. so i want to install only stable version for all packages. the version number can be know from http://ftp.slackware.com/pub/slackware/ … CKAGES.TXT or http://packages.debian.org/stable/allpa … mat=txt.gz or own expieriance. so it would make my arch more stable.
right now i can think of one way to achive this, by create another repositery and disabling all others including core extra community etc.
so which one is more feasible different repositery or different, stable distro (may be slack).
thanks

How do you measure that stability?
in infinitely stable system, binary will only do what they are supposed to do. thats what is desirable. one way to find out the stability is testing for a period of time. and i heard slackware and debian stable are most tested distro so thats why i chose their packages.txt.
i am ignoring their interference with upstream packages and assuming it has zero effect on stability. however feel free to shatter my assumption.
Arch is a rolling release; it is predicated on moving with upstream.
it does not matter the only requirement is that the required version of the pacages should exist somewhere. with the proposed changes it would not be rolling anymore, at least apparantly.
Depends how much work you want to put into it. I expect that in turn depends on the issues you believe have been caused by arch's alleged lack of stability, and you haven't said anything about them.
Given your apparent determination to stay with Arch, it's odd that you included the option to change distro in your question, but it's the option I would recommend to you. If you decide to persist with Arch, here's a previous attempt to inspire you.
the point is i dont have to do much work. most of the work is testing, which is already done by big distros like slack, debian. i am just using their knowledge of most stable packages and applying that in arch. the only work i have to do is to automate the whole process of changing the database file.
yes i am facing issue with my current arch, xfce-panel is crashing. there is fixed bitmap in my top left corner etc. but i dont want to spend my time debugging these problems. but i do want them dissappeared, hopefully the proposed change would do that.
i think i am moving to slackware but without leaving arch. the only difference between them that matters is slackware is well tested distro and i think i am bringing that quality in my arch.
the difference between archserver and arch is archserver provides more stability but not more than slackware. so i think i am not intrested in archserver.

[FTP Install] cannot install as /mnt/etc is not created

Hi, happy new year to everyone
i've been unable to install Arch for a long time on my desktop system with raid/lvm2 partition. It runs fine on my old laptop.
Tonight I gave it another try with froscon install CD (August 2008), choosing FTP Install as usual, and end up stuck @ the same point.
Following http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ins … AID_or_LVM , everything goes well up to "Configure Arch", where /mnt/etc is *not* created, making this step a dead end one.
There are 2 Sata HDDs with identical partition :
/dev/sda1 * 1 15 120456 83 Linux
/dev/sda2 16 10011 80292870 5 Extended
/dev/sda5 16 2564 20474811 fd Linux raid autodetect
/dev/sda6 2565 5113 20474811 fd Linux raid autodetect
/dev/sda7 5114 9880 38290896 fd Linux raid autodetect
/dev/sda8 9881 10011 1052226 82 Linux swap / Solaris
/dev/sda1 is standard /boot
/dev/sd[ab]5 is a raid0 array with 3 partitions, the 3rd beeing free / for Arch setup.
/dev/sd[ab]6 is a raid1 array with 3 partitions for personnal data
/dev/sd[ab]7, raid0 array with 2 partitions that i can share for extra data (like /tmp)
/dev/sd[ab]8 are swap
I can activate existing RAID and LVM volumes, make a filesystem on /dev/systems/system3 array, mount it on /mnt then /sda1 on /mnt/boot. I also mounted other systems lvm partitions which went fine.
Configuring the network, downloading and installing base packages go fine.
Configure Arch gives me *empty* configuration files. i.e. Vi says "New DIRECTORY" for every configuration file.
It's been about a year I'm stuck there
Any advice's welcome.

Woow. Was able to finish the installation as soon as i choose "CD install" rather than "FTP install"
I know this is probably the first time in years i install a distro from the CD, so it might why i couldn't install Arch so many times.
Note that the issue with configure Arch had occured with every ISO i booted with since over a year

FTP install, Don`t pacnic, unable to downlaod packages.txt

Hello everyone.
I am trying to install Archlinux using FTP install from the last 'don`t panic' CD, but the installer is unable to download the file 'packages.txt' from any of the servers. I tryed to update pacman and to install again, but I got the same error again. What can I do to solve the problem. I just formated the hard drive and now I am using links from install CD to post the topic.
Regards.

Thank you, byte.
I have no more CDs now I will have to wait till tomorrow. So it will and it is not possible to install arch using older CD`s, is that true. Or the problem is in me. I wanted to tune the base packages, not much, but I wanted to fill the power . As far as I know, that is not possible in the newest release of the install CD, and the setup is installing all the base packages, is that true again.
Regards.

Arch-0.7.2-ftp.iso can't handle the new kernel [SOLVED]

hallo arch mates is there any problem when installer a fresh install from ftp with the new kernel some of my friends need to edit grup after install is it a error or is the arch-0.7.2-ftp.iso not build to handle the new kernel ??
Over And Out :?:

Mh? I don't see a problem using 0.7.2 ftp install cd. Also not when editing grub file.
But if you get problems you might try this one http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?t=25236

Install only Kde 5?

Hi, first sorry for my english.
I have arch with gnome 3, and i want a fresh install only with Kde 5.
i need install only kf5 and kf5-aids, or i must need install kde 4 too?

Good improvement. We might also list some of the other problems/status users can expect to see too upon upgrading.
I'm looking forward to trying 'plasma-desktop 5.1' when it is ready. Thanks for your work on maintaining it in the AUR. I'll try to help with the Wiki too once I get it installed.

Trying to install Arch with Ubuntu hardy already installed

I have Ubuntu already installed on my system and I want to install Arch on a separate 10gig partition ( which is already made) but when I boot from the Arch cd and go to install Arch only sees the main drive it doesn't see anything else what am I doing wrong. I only want to install arch on the 10 gig partition for now until I am more familiar with Linux

I have just read that it is informative but I am not sure of what that will do inorder for me to be able to install Arch on My tem gig partition, when I am in ubuntu I stat gparted to see what the names of my partitions are and this is what it shows /dev/sda3 swap 1gig /dev/ sda2 reiserfs 10 gigs ( where I want to install Arch) sda1 / Ubuntu how do I install arch onto dev/sda 2 ) the ten gig partition) if arch doesn't see it? do I have to delete the partition or formaste the 10 gig partition differently?

ok edit two I think that I have Arch install but I am not sure of which way to use
Dual booting with other linux distros
This is done exactly the same way that Arch linux is loaded. Here we assume that the other distro is on partition [s/h]da3.
title Other Linux
root (hd0,2)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz (add other options here as required)
initrd /boot/initrd.img (if the other kernel uses/needs one)
[edit] Dual booting with other linux distro (Chainloading)
To avoid maintenance nightmare, you might want to chainload the GRUB in the MBR to another bootloader you might have installed in the bootrecord of a partition [(hd0,2) in our example] instead of the MBR. This way the auto-magic stuff of some distro will manage the menu.lst on (hd0,2) (if it is grub) for its own distro and you will boot with all the option needed (like the correct last kernel) without the need to copy/paste some part of that menu.lst into yours.
In our example [1], GRUB is in the MBR and some other bootloader (BL) (be it grub or lilo) is in the Boot Record of (hd0,2).
| | | | % (hd0,2) |
| M | | | B % |
| B | (hd0,0) | (hd0,1) | L % Other |
| R | | | % Distro |
| | | | % |
| ^
| chainloading |
Then, you simply use in your menu.lst:
title Other Linux distro
root (hd0,2)
chainloader +1

Can no longer do FTP install successfully

I needed three more arch boxen, so I fired up my usual 0.7-base CD and installed arch from FTP.
While doing the FTP install, the arch setup program couldn't find chroot, and I couldn't boot after I finished the install. It gave me an initial console couldn't be found error, even though I set myself up for udev. After I manually made /dev/null (which ended up being nonwritable) and /dev/console, I booted with a bunch of "respawn too fast" errors on /dev/c[1-7].
All of this smelled really bad.
So instead, I did a base install off the CD with old packages. All went well. After that booted successfully, I updated using pacman -Syu, updated lilo.conf for udev, ran lilo, and rebooted. Everything worked fine.
For some reason, it seems impossible to install from the 0.7-base CD using current packages. My final product shouldn't have been any different with the two methods, but it seems that using new packages straight out the chute doesn't work.
Any thoughts on this? Any word on a new install ISO?
*NOTE* I usually do FTP install...

For ftp-install, don't add devfs=nomount in menu.lst. After rebooting, add it in menu.lst, then issue the following command:
migrate-udev
Good luck.

Scsi controller not recognized during ftp install

Hi all,
As you can tell, this is my first post and my first attemp to install arch. I downloaded the latest ftp install floppies "Arch Linux 0.5 (Nova)" and I am trying to install arch on a PII system with and Adaptec 2940UW controller and no cdrom. I can boot from Tom's recue disk:
http://www.toms.net/rb/
and the controller is recognized and I can use fdisk to partition the drive.
However, when I boot from the arch install floppies, the controller is not recognized. When I manually load the module for the controller, ie. aic7xxx, lsmod shows it as unused.
After looking at the boot log using dmesg, I noticed the following, which I don't understand:
kmod: failed to exec /sbin/modprobe -s -k scsi_hostadapter, errno=2
Is this a kernel issue and does anyone have any pointers for me?
Thanks
Kevin
PS: I tried my best to search for a related topic.

Thanks for the reply. It still doesn't work for me.
I noticed that the floppy images have been updated -- the md5sum's have changed. I will give them a try.
As an aside, the listed md5sum's for the new images don't match the downloads. I downloaded from several mirrors and I get the same sums, which don't match the sums listed.

If I do an FTP install will I get latest Kernel - fuse etc etc etc ??

Hi... I love ARCHBOOT and my local repository on a usb stick though I'm about to do a reinstall to get all the new 2.6.30 stuff. ARCHBOOT isn't going to work for now I think...
SO, may I ask that IF I boot from the CD and do an FTP install will I get the latest base stuff AND all everything else the latest versions? I thnk yes, though thought to ask the gurus here....
thank you!

Yes.... good to have comfirmation.... thanks.
I remind myself how much I enjoy since last week using ARCHBOOT and a ocal repository / repo-add all on one usb stick for total offince SUPER fast install. I am going to attempt to update te core database for ARCHBOOT as doing an ftp install is not so interesting/logical for me now, as I get better with ARCH.
many thanks!

Installing only free software

Is there a way to easily install only free software in Arch Linux? Something like Debian's free non-free repo's or Gentoo's ACCEPT_LICENSE in make.conf?

I don't want to derail the thread too much but my laptop is a System76 from this year and the only wi-fi options available were for Intel.
Anyway, the Intel wireless driver is open source but it requires a binary firmware blob. Personally I don't understand why it needs to be distributed as firmware then and not just flashed onto the card once and for all. Their argument for the binary blob is that certain aspects of a wi-fi card, such as the radio frequencies on which it operates, should not be open to tinkering because they would void the various approvals that the device receives (FCC and such, if I remember correctly); I would argue that if it shouldn't be open for tinkering and, indeed, it should never be changed, it should just be permanently flashed onto the card. But, I must confess general ignorance about the inner workings of wi-fi cards.
I think the only other device on my laptop that I can't use due to using linux-libre is the SD card reader but I don't really care about that, so I haven't even checked.

It´s possible to use the "Remote" app with Itunes and a Nokia E72 with Joikuspot installed only? Or I´ll need to buy a modem Wifi?

I was using "remote" with a D-link modem, that works fine at my iPad. But now I´m using only the cell phone as modem 3G, and don´t want to intall a router to put new cables at my notebook.

What?
You want to control iTunes on your computer using the Remote app on your iPad?
And you want to connect the iPad and computer through your Nokia?
No, this will not work.
Just create a network with your notebook.

Install iTunes.
Once install, hold SHIFT and launch iTunes.
When prompted, point iTunes to the correct location for the iTunesLibrary.itl file which should be in the iTunes folder under <user>/Music on the old drive.

Hi There Linc Davis,
Wow, you are the best.
Yip this is what the website looks like. Great job Linc Davis.
Not surprised that the "Shop" tab is missing. Darn.
Well can you try to access it's "sister" website: astralmusic.com and astralmusicshop.com?
Since you are awesome with the "Flash" can you investigate if this website has a issue withis this "Flash" too?
