trouble installing linux

[Arthur Pirika]

hi, just to update you all, I got my problem resolved. went back to arch 
linux, changed from using ftp mirrors to http ones and wam. much, much 
better response. Weird, as i always thought ftp was better at this kind of 
thing. oh well. I'm a happy arch user now, and might do a podcast on 
installing into a vm if anyone was interested.
