edit /etc/pacman.conf and add:

[archlinuxfr]
Server = http://repo.archlinux.fr/i686

then : pacman -S yaourt versionpkg

- update the systeme:

pacman -Suy

- install xorg, gdm and necessary stuff

- pacman -S emacs subversion zsh most gdm sudo yaourt gnome

1. adduser, groups: adm,wheel,games,video,audio,optical,storage,floppy
2. sudo chsh -s /bin/zsh <yourlogin>

- chmod 660 /etc/sudoers - uncomment : %wheel ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL - chmod 440 /etc/sudoers

edit /etc/inittab, set:

• id:5:initdefault:
• x:5:respawn:/usr/sbin/gdm -nodaemon

• use alsaconf

• edit /etc/udev/rules.d/51-tascam.rules

• compile fxload,usx2yloader,us428control into /usr/bin

To create a package:

• create a directory
• create a PKGBUILD inside
• call makepkg
• to install the package call pacman -U pkgname.pkg.tgz

To install package:

• yaourt -S pkg

To update all pkg:

• yaourt -Suy

To search a pkg:

• yaourt -Ss pkgname

1. sudo, remove root passwd
