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.. Code:
Disk /dev/sda: 80.0 GB, 80026361856 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 9729 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Disk identifier: 0x0dd6c6bd Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 * 1 3187 25599546 7 HPFS/NTFS /dev/sda2 3188 8287 40965750 f W95 Ext'd (LBA) /dev/sda3 8288 9607 10602900 83 Linux /dev/sda4 9608 9729 979965 82 Linux swap / Solaris /dev/sda5 4406 5737 10699290 7 HPFS/NTFS /dev/sda6 5738 8287 20482843+ 7 HPFS/NTFS /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 ... 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 Thanks for Helping

^^ The root account has been created. At the login type root as user name and password as the password you gave during setup. After logging in as root, create a new account by
Code:
useradd <username> -p <password>
