[QUOTE="rabid.parrots, post: 1388044, member: 40379"] i have downloaded the archlinux-2010.05-core-dual.iso file, i want to know whether i need to be connected to the net to install the required packages? i am installing it on a laptop with win7 and crunchbang linux in dual boot config. im going to get rid of crunchbang because it isnt recognising the networking hardware on neither the laptop, nor my desktop. i shall be dual booting win7 with arch, grub will be in charge of booting, with arch as main os, win7 for gaming :P i will be running an ubuntu live cd from the desktop to connect to the net(in case arch install goes fubar), and installing it on the laptop i have these partitions : 1. sda1 100mb ntfs (sys reserve) 2. sda2 100gb ntfs c: (win7 mount) 3. sda3 175gb ntfs h: (storage) 4. sda4 26gb extended 4.1 sda5 100mb /boot 4.2 sda6 1gb linux-swap 4.3 sda7 10gb / 4.4 sda8 14gb /home is there any way NOT to use /home, and use my h:(sda3) as /home mounted in arch? or should i just continue with the present structure and manually set the mount in fstab? thoughts? and also tell me where i can go wrong in this method. also, should i place the grub in /boot or mbr? im confused [/QUOTE]
