archlinux and kdemod

I try to change to use ArchLinux. Documents of ArchLinx web are very helpful. I just follow the instruction and install it in my new laptop. Well...Almost. Actually I have problem in start kdemode. It told "kstartupconfig4 miss or fail......" and the result I google for it is that's related to gcc version. But I had installed newest gcc and it still have problem. If you are looking for step by step instruction, go to ArchLiux's website.

I give up to install kdemod and remove it in the end. But I found the pacman package system is very impressive. I note that the disk size usage before install and after remove are almost the same. That means pacman did remove kdemod and its dependency package clearly. Again, It's very impressive.

But the ArchLinux default deriver for my atheros AR928x seems have same problem with unbuntu 10.04. The network speed is terrible and I have no such problem in windows 7. It take almost two hours to download kdemod and I don't want do it again. I don't know how to fix it yet. But I was tired with it.

So I use awesome now and it just works fine. I will install kde (kdemod? No. Thanks.) after I fix network issue. Now... Time to bed.

I don't know why the network interface doesn't slow after I install kde although I know it's not related to kde. Anyway, ArchLinux is very impressive and I like it. GoodBye~ Ubuntu.
