Re: [orca-list] My audio walkthrough for installing archlinux

[Steve Holmes <steve holmes88 gmail com>]

Two hours seems kind of long but if it is full of valuable information, 
then it may be worth it all.

I still feel that it seems like extra complexity to jump through a 
different distro first to get Arch installed.  I did OK with the talking 
boot image Chris built but I realize the issue concerning 64bit 
architexture.  I never tried 64 bit here to know if that would work or 
not.  my processer type says AMD 64 but I've never been sure about the 
rest of or the memory installed.  Not sure how to tell for sure what I 
really have here.  I've been using 32 bit with my two GB without any 
harm and I also realize than anything less than 4 gig mitht as well be 
32 bit anyway.
