Today, we're installing the very first Arch Linux from 2002, version 0.1! Let's delve into Linux history in the most painful way possible - full install on original hardware!

Since Arch is a rolling release, I would like to see if it can be updated from 0.1 to the current release.

The Arch wiki is beyond useful for just Arch itself. It's the go-to wiki for pretty much any distro in general since a lot of stuff is identical to other distros.

Am I glad Arch exists? Yes, it saved my 2017 mac from obsolescence. Do I think it's a friendly distribution? No. You can do wonders with it, but most of it is non-trivial to the majority of computer users.

So glad Action Retro is keeping the tradition of Weird OS Wednesdays alive. ❤️ 😂

This is giving me PTSD styled flashbacks from the first PC I ever owned and couldn’t afford Windows. All I had was Slackware 3 on a CD that came with a book I bought. Coming from Amiga, that was some serious culture shock.

At 11:00 when your term goes into an alternate character set, try typing “reset” in the shell. It might reset your termcap. :)

Would love to see more early Linux installs! How about Slackware next?

Gentoo next?

Very nostalgic. That was around the time I switched to Gentoo Linux after spending a year or two on Mandrakelinux as the first distro I daily-drove. I didn't realize LILO had an option for a menu though.

Installing arch in 2002 was a lot easier than installing debian in 1998, that's for sure.

Shaka, when the Archs fell...

i'll be honest, when you said "the original version of arch linux" i was not expecting to hear the year 2002

Old Gentoo / Slackware installs next. Also dig into Enlightenment maybe? the OG eyecandy DE/WM.

11:05 when your terminal gets broken like that, `stty sane` usually helps. It saved me a lot of time and I didn't knew about it for years, so I hope this information will be useful. :)
