vinux questions

[Jude DaShiell]

It isn't a command more like a series of commands and the first thing 
anyone wanting to do this will need to do is to set up access to the aur 
repository.  But all of that is post-install stuff after a basic command 
line interface system has been installed and is on the internet.
Talkingarchlinux requires the use of several commands to get it 
installed well, my command instruction set takes up three pages of 
braille for this installation.  I got many of those from the 
beginners_install_guide on the archlinux website.  At least one tutorial 
for installing the command line interface is also available on 
http://talkingarch.tk/ and I think is an mp4 file.  If you have 
installed gentoo before or Fedora Moonshine before you know what to 
expect.  For those that have only installed Debian or Vinux or Ubuntu or 
Kalilinux this will be a different installation environment.
The g.u.i. install tutorial for talkingarchlinux when produced is 
probably going to need to describe how to install mate at a minimum and 
gnome and kde since people with 1GB of memory probably will need to 
install mate to avoid keyboard latency post-install so it'll be good to 
know what you have in terms of memory capacity to install the correct 
g.u.i. environment.
