Glutton for Funishment

So I got #! up and running with Steam, Citrix Receiver, Dropbox, Skype etc. all the things I needed. Got Handbrake to backup my DVDs to hard drive - and it works. Got them playing through OpenElec on the Raspberry Pi (Anynet+ CEC isn't working, but there's a new HDMI cable in the post that'll sort that I'm sure). Twiddles thumbs. Maybe it's time to have a stab at Arch, eh? * Set up new logical volumes on the existing volume group from #! using sudo system-config-lvm (feel slightly bad about using the GUI) * Write ISO to USB, install using the beginner's guide . * Make sure to add the right hooks for LVM * Struggle slightly with understanding how to add new OS to GRUB, but sort it out reasonably quickly * Boot Arch, install X.org, install xfce. huh. not so scary. almost... disappointingly straightforward. Obviously I'm realising I have a slightly unhealthy addiction here.

Steam

Been all round the houses with this one. long story short, this is the route to take . Just get the current script from the guithub page and amend any paths in the instructions accordingly.
