How do I install Arch? - Sale0 - 01-01-2014

How do I install Arch Linux on Ubuntu?
Ubuntu=MAIN
ARCH= SOON TO BE MAIN

Pretty much saying "How do I wipe Ubuntu to put Arch on it?"

I have an 8GB USB, which I think is enough.

I hope to have Arch fully functional on my computer today or tomorrow, so if someone could help me that'd be great xD

I would suggest you to use a Arch based distro instead like Archbang or Bbqlinux, it really saves alot of time and frustration for newbies to Arch.

l0l tri bsd or gentoo m8.

The arch wiki has some of the clearest and noob friendly documentation in the world. Just set aside a couple of hours and follow their guide; it isn't that difficult at all.

They do have pretty good documentation for a distribution. Read through it and ask any specific questions you might have here, or in their IRC. Of course, I'd recommend Debian instead of Arch, but it's your choice. Tongue

If you have to ask its not worth it with arch. Just stick with your Ubuntu

Do you even have to make decisions? I remember installing Gentoo was my crash-course linux, because I had to learn, for example, how to pick which bootloader I liked.
