latest version of TalkingArch

[Jude DaShiell]

Hi Kyle,

We're golden finally!  I ended up learning how to get wifi up on 
archlinux properly and learned how to handle these fast sata drives if 
things were on them and archlinux is to go onto them.
This second bit isn't difficult either but has a few steps and is for 
those that can swap out hard drives.  The ones that can't swap out hard 
drives will do well to learn to erase boot sectors and put a new disk 
label on disks with parted or something similar.  I'd recommend dban if 
it would talk.
For those that can swap out hard drives since they use drive caddies:
1) insert talkingarch in dvd drive,
2) unlock hard drive and move it so it's out of contact with connectors,
3) boot system up and get to root# prompt,
4) put hard disk in caddy and lock it in and wait a few seconds,
5) unlock caddy and move hard drive just out of contact with connectors 
again; that should produce error messages,
6) push disk back into caddy and lock caddy,
7) type udevadm settle then wait a few seconds,
8) type lsblk and see if the hard drive shows up (that should show up as 
an entry),
9) proceed with owtherwise normal TalkingArch installation.

Wifi has a few steps too:
1) run wifi-menu -o hit enter to use active network if you know its 
password,
2) pick a network name and enter that,
3) key in wifi router password,
4) type netctl list
5) find the network name to right of asterisk and copy all of it to 
speakup clipboard,
6) type netctl store and hit enter,
7) type netctl enable followed by space then hit the speakup paste 
command then hit enter; you should hear a successful link operation 
happen if you did it right.
Once that's done, and the system boots it automatically tries to connect 
to wifi and in my case does so successfully.
