Arch install paused. Apparently the first hurdle - disk partitioning - might be the end of this attempt. It seems my HDD may have finally given up the ghost. It has given me grief in the past, but an fsck fixed it. Still at random times I would get disk errors. Now it appears to have gotten pretty bad. Any time I try running fdisk it just blows up with HDD errors.
I have many other projects to work on so the Arch install will have to be put on hold. Kind of sad. I need a decent cheap beater machine to play with. I don't want to do virtual machines, I would rather work on a full on install. So I may be keeping my eyes open for a machine I can mess with.
