Well, it worked!

Well here I am, posting from my new Arch install on Pris. Everything all went fairly smoothly. My new graphics card didn’t end up comming, so I still have my old ATI Radeon X800XL in there. Because it’s the weekend now, it looks like I wont get to use the new card until Monday (or Tuesday if the post is being slow). Hopefully that won’t result in too much bother with configuration and stuff like that. I have a feeling that it should all run fairly smoothly though. This is because HAL is allowing me to not require an xorg.conf file. So hopefully it should just be a matter of putting in the new card, installing the driver, and then starting fluxbox. Well, that’s the plan anyway

Over the comming posts, I will be posting information about how I end up configuring my system. I will document every setting that I change, so everyone else knows how to do it as well. Also, if I have to do a reinstall for whatever reason, I should have some sort of reference to go on.

PS: I haven’t gotten spell checker going yet, so there’s probably lots of mistakes in this!
