Anyway, I’d be glad to help you install Arch on it. It’s actually quite easy, dunno if you saw my guide on my blog… but I only did it once.

I have the 256 slice and it suits me just fine… only issue is high latency with my connection, since I live in Sweden. It makes shell access kind of painful.

I did read your post on installing Arch. I'm familiar with Arch as I used it for about a year after getting fed up with Gentoo. I actually pacman'd a x86_64 base system on my Ubuntu box at home... but not sure if it will actually work (I got some ldconfig errors because my Ubuntu box is 32bit). Might be easier to do all that from a 64bit machine on the slice itself?</p> Thanks Anders! I did read your post on installing Arch.

Just boot into rescue mode, create a new partition for Arch and mount it. Download the pacman pkg and extract it over / and use pacman-static to download the base system into /mnt/sda1...</p> <p>Oh yeah, don't forget to copy the kernel modules before doing all this. You also want to chroot in and install ssh and then wipe hosts.deny (plus network configuration etc).</p> Yeah, you probably could.
