I've downloaded the archlinux-2008.06-core-i686.iso and want to create a install cd. What do I do?

Welcome to TSF!!

Hi. This is what you are going to want to do first. I am guessing that you aren't going to want to remove XP. So you will want to dual boot.

Please follow these instructions line for line. This will allow you to partition your hdd. You will need two things, an ISO file from Gparted, and a program that will allow you to burn a LiveCD. I would recommend CDburnerXP, or Finalburner. Unless you have a cd burner that will burn ISO files. I regular cd burning program won't work. It must have an ISO burning function.

Go to [b]GParted, then download an ISO file for the latest version.
Download a copy of CDburnerXP or Finalburner or an ISO burner of your choice.
Burn a LiveCd

Let me know when you have that done and I will help you with the next step.

Cheers!
