You.. don't generally need to compile the kernel to use Arch? Or is this some joke
This was over 20 years ago, so I don't know and/or remember, point is I had no idea what I was doing, possibly just trying to build a window manager or something then? All I remember is only having a CLI and feeling like I couldn't get anything to work.
These days the arch live image comes with an install script, archinstall, that does a pretty good job at making sure arch is installed and set up enough to get you in, including installing a nice DE of your choice. No compiling needed :)
