Hi all
Here is a story what I did ..I downloaded the I686 core pack from here http://www.archlinux.org/download/ Now I burnt in CD and booted trough it .. I went to installation screen by typing /arch/setup now after that I did set file system .. I set my /dev/sda4 as swap and /dev/sda7 as / After that it ask me do set a root partition I skip that ? Am I doiing wrong in that step ? After that I choose packages..
Disk /dev/sda: 80.0 GB, 80026361856 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 9729 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

/dev/sda7 3188 4405 9783522 83 Linux
Partition table entries are not in disk order
Note: I don't have Windows Installed Only Arch and Ubuntu ...
I use CD as primary installation and it mount my CD rom.. I select only Core/Base package.. and install it ..The next step is to install Grub it did install Grub but my Ubuntu grub appears when I rebooot.. Thats not a big deal I edited my Ubuntu Grub list and added Arch Entry .. Ok I set up my system and enter root password but there is no option to set up User Account . .I reboot as everything is done and boot through Hard Diskk..
Everything went fine for few seconds after a screen appears and ask to enter Myhost login .. But I haven't set any user account.. What I am doing wrong please let me know. .I am dying to use Arch with KDE mod :D
Thanks for Helping :)
