According to this thread:
http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=329576 The problems seem to be: -wrong permissions on tmp directory and -no uncommented mirror after installation... -missing nano syntax highlighting problems that come on top of that: "pacman -Syu will not work. I have to go into into the mirrorlist file and uncomment a mirror." "I have problems now getting GDM to load my xfce4 session, and even without GDM, I can only load xfce4 thru the root login, not my own, and when I install ttf-ms-fonts, i get a error that says the package has different permissions than the /tmp directory" |
This task depends upon
This was broken again in filesystem-2007.11-6 but fixed in filesystem-2007.11-7 which will move from Testing to Core soon.
Then (when -7 will be in Core) if user does -Syu (which is highly recommended) right after installation - the issue will be fixed even for non-FTP installs.
> -no uncommented mirror after installation...
I guess, this is due to mirrorlist changed from /etc/pacman.d/{core,extra,unstable,testing,community} to /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist in the latest pacman version.
This will be fixed in the new ISO release coming soon.
> -missing nano syntax highlighting
Not a bug, it was removed (see
FS#8004), the default nanorc.sample is still provided though.
