Kao root, pokreni instalacijsku skriptu s početne virtualne konzole tty1: Template:Cli Na ekranu bi se trebalo prikazati instalacijsko okruženje Arch Linuxa.
Odaberi instalacijski izvor
Nakon pozdrava dobrodošlice, od tebe će se tražiti instalacijski izvor. Odaberi prikladan izvor za željeni tip instalacije. Ukoliko koristiš medij za mrežnu instalaciju (Netinstall), brzine i stanja zrcalnih repozitorija možeš provjeriti ovdje.
- Ukoliko odabereš jezgrenu instalaciju i želiš koristiti pakete s CD-a, odaberi CD-ROM kao izvor instalacije.
- Alternativno, ili ukoliko koristiš medij za mrežnu instalaciju, odaberi NET i pogledaj sekciju Konfiguriraj mrežu.
Dijalog odabira izvora će te zatražiti da odabereš repozitorije koje želiš koristiti. U slučaju nedoumice, uz 'core' odaberi 'extra' i 'community' repozitorije. U slučaju da koristiš 64-bitnu instalaciju Archa, za kompatibilnost s nekim 32-bitnim softverom ćeš možda još htjeti uključiti i 'multilib' repozitorij.
Konfiguriraj mrežu (mrežna instalacija)
Imat ćeš priliku ručno učitati mrežne drivere, ukoliko to želiš. UDev je sposoban učitati potrebne module, pa možeš prepostaviti da je to već učinio. Možeš to provjeriti pritiskanjem <Alt>+F3 i pokretanjem ip addr. Kada je to gotovo, vrati se na početnu virtualnu konzolu tty1 pritiskom na <Alt>+F1.
Na idućem ekranu odaberi postavljanje mrežnih opcija Setup Network. Bit će prikazana dostupna sučelja. Ukoliko je navedeno sučelje i HWaddr (HardWare address), tada je tvoj modul već učitan. Ukoliko sučelje nije navedeno, možeš ga pokrenuti unutar instalacije ili ručno putem druge virtualne konzole. Odaberi svoje sučelje za nastavak.
Instalacija će te zatim upitati želiš li koristiti DHCP. Odabiranjem "Yes" će se pokrenuti dhcpcd da otkrije dostupan gateway i zatraži IP-adresu; odabiranjem "No" ćeš morati ručno upisati mrežne postavke poput IP-adrese, maske i DNS-servera. Nakon toga se vraćaš u instalacijski meni mrežne instalacije Net Installation Menu.
Odaberi Choose Mirror te odaberi FTP ili HTTP zrcalni repozitorij. Zatim se vrati na glavni meni.
Postavi ADSL most u interaktivnom okruženju (neobavezno)
(Samo ukoliko imaš modem ili usmjeritelj u mostovnom modu rada za spajanje na svog Internet-poslužitelja.)
Skoči na drugu virtualnu konzolu (<Alt>+F2), ulogiraj se kao root i pokreni: Template:Cli
Ako je sve dobro konfigurirano, na kraju ćeš se moći spojiti na svojeg Internet-poslužitelja idućim programom: Template:Cli
Vrati se na prvu virtualnu konzolu (<ALT>+F1) te nastavi s postavljanjem vremena.
Postavi bežičnu mrežu unutar interaktivnog okruženja (neobavezno)
(Samo ukoliko ti je potrebna bežična mreža za nastavak instalacijskog procesa.)
Driveri i uslužni programi za bežičnu mrežu su sada dostupni unutar interaktivnog okruženja instalacijskog medija. Dobro poznavanje bežičnog hardvera će biti ključno za uspješnu konfiguraciju. Primijeti da će iduća brzinska procedura, pokrenuta na ovoj točci instalacije, inicijalizirati tvoj bežični hardver samo tako da bude mogao biti korišten tijekom instalacijskog procesa. Čitavu ćeš proceduru (ili neku sličnu njoj) morati ponoviti jednom kada zaista instaliraš i pokreneš lokalni sustav.
Primijeti i da su ovi koraci neobavezni ukoliko bežična konekcija nije potrebna: bežičnu funkcionalnost uvijek možeš uključiti kasnije.
Osnovna je procedura ovakva:
- Prebaci se na slobodnu virtualnu konzolu, npr. <ALT>+F3
- Ulogiraj se kao root
- (neobavezno) Saznaj koje bežično sučelje koristiš:
- Pobrini se da je udev učitao driver i da je driver stvorio iskoristivo bežično kernel-sučelje Template:Filename:
Template:Command Template:Codeline je dostupno bežično sučelje u ovom primjeru.
- Pokreni sučelje s:
Malen postotak bežičnih čipseta zahtijevaju i firmware zajedno s odgovarajućim driverom. Ako bežični čipset zahtijeva firmware, vjerojatno ćeš prilikom pokretanja sučelja primiti ovakvu grešku:
U slučaju nedoumice, pokreni Template:Filename da bi potražio zahtjev za firmwareom unutar dnevnika kernela. Primjer ispisa od Intelovog čipseta koji zahtijeva firmware od kernela prilikom pokretanja sustava:
Ako nema takvog ispisa, može se zaključiti da bežični čipset sustava ne zahtijeva firmware.
- Ako je ESSID zaboravljen ili nepoznat, iskoristi Template:Filename da bi pretražio obližnje mreže:
- Ako koristiš WPA enkripciju:
Koristiti WPA enkripciju zahtijeva da ključ bude kriptiran i spremljen u datoteku zajedno s ESSID-om, za kasnije korištenje putem aplikacije Template:Codeline. Zato je potrebno napraviti par dodatnih koraka:
Pošto želimo pojednostaviti i napraviti sigurnosnu pohranu bivših postavki, preimenuj postojeću datoteku Template:Filename: Template:Cli
Koristeći Template:Codeline, upiši ime svoje bežične mreže i WPA ključ koji će biti kriptiran i spremljen u Template:Filename.
Idući primjer kriptira ključ "my_secret_passkey" bežične mreže "linksys", generira novu konfiguracijsku datoteku (Template:Filename) i zapisuje kriptirani ključ u datoteku: Template:Cli
Provjeri WPA Supplicant za više informacija.
- Asociraj svoju bežičnu karticu s uređajem pristupne točke kojeg želiš koristiti. Ovisno o tipu enkripcije (bez enkripcije, WEP ili WPA), procedura je drugačija. Moraš znati ime odabrane bežične mreže (ESSID).
|Bez enkripcije
|WEP s hex ključem
|WEP s ASCII lozinkom
- Nakon korištenja odgovarajuće metode asocijacije, pričekaj par trenutaka i potvrdi da je asocijacija s uređajem pristupne točke uspješna koristeći iduću naredbu:
Template:Cli Ispis bi trebao pokazati bežičnu mrežu asociranu sa sučeljem.
- Pošalji zahtijev za IP-adresom koristeći Template:Filename, npr.:
- Za kraj, pobrini se da možeš komunicirati s ostatkom Interneta koristeći Template:Filename:
Sada bi trebala postojati ispravna mrežna konekcija. U slučaju problema pogledaj detaljnu stranicu postavljanja bežične mreže.
Vrati se na tty1 s <ALT>+F1 te nastavi sa postavljanjem hardverskog vremena.
Postavi hardversko vrijeme
Postavi mod rada harverskog sata. Ako odabrani mod ne odgovara postavci drugih postojećih instaliranih operacijskih sustava, prebrisat će ih i uzrokovati pomicanje vremena na tim sustavima.
- UTC (preporučeno)
- localtime (ne preporuča se) - Korišteno u Windowsima. Ako je vrijeme postavljeno na localtime, Linux neće primijetiti periode ljetnog računanja vremena.
Dual boot
Ako dual-bootaš Windowse na svom računalu, imaš dvije opcije:
- Postavi Arch Linux na localtime, a zatim kasnije (u konfiguraciji sustava) izbaci Template:Codeline iz Template:Filename liste u Template:Filename (Windowsi će se pobrinuti o izmjenama hardverskog sata). Ne preporuča se.
- Postavi Arch Linux na UTC i natjeraj Windowse da isto koriste UTC (potreban je brza izmjena registryja, pogledaj ovu stranicu za upute). Također, ne dozvoli Windowsima da sinkroniziraju svoje vrijeme s Internetom, jer će to ponovno promijeniti hardverski sat u localtime mod. Ako želiš takvu funkcionalnost (sinkronizaciju s NTP-serverima), možeš koristiti openntpd na svom Arch-sustavu. Preporučeno.
Pripremi tvrdi disk
Verificiraj trenutni disk koristeći Template:Filename s Template:Codeline (malo slovo L) zastavicom.
Otvori novu virtualnu konzolu (<ALT>+F3) i upiši: Template:Cli Zapamti koje ćeš diskove i particije koristiti prilikom instalacije Archa.
Skoči natrag na instalacijsku skriptu (<ALT>+F1).
Odaberi prvi unos u meniju "Prepare Hard Drive".
- Opcija 1: Automatska priprema (Izbriše ČITAV tvrdi disk i automatski postavi particije)
Automatska priprema dijeli disk prema idućoj konfiguraciji:
- ext2 /boot particija preporučene veličine 100MB.
- swap particija preporučene veličine 256MB.
- Različite / i /home particije, gdje su dostupni datotečni sustavi među ext2, ext3, ext4, reiserfs, xfs i jfs, ali svakako primijeti da i / i /home dijele identičan tip datotečnog sustava ukoliko odabereš automatsku pripremu diska.
Ponavljamo upozorenje: automatska će priprema u potpunosti izbrisati sadržaj odabranog diska. Pažljivo pročitaj upozorenje prikazano u instalacijskom procesu i pobrini se da zaista odabireš željen uređaj.
- Opcija 2: Ručno particioniranje tvrdih diskova (s cfdisk) - preporučeno.
Ova će opcija dopustiti najdetaljnije rješenje particioniranja za tvoje osobne potrebe.
- Opcija 3: Ručno konfiguriraj block uređaje, datotečne sustave i montažne točke
Ako je ovo odabrtano, sustav će ispisati koje je datotečne sustave i montažne točke pronašao, a zatim te pitati želiš li ih koristiti.
- Opcija 4: Obrat zadnjih promjena datotečnog sustava
Na ovoj točci, napredniji korisnici GNU/Linuxa koji su upoznati s ručnim particioniranjem mogu preskočiti niže na odabir paketa.
Particioniranje tvrdih diskova (opće informacije)
Tip particije
Particioniranje tvrdog diska definira specifična područja (particije) unutar diska koja će se pojedinačno ponašati kao odvojeni diskovi i unutar kojih može biti stvoren (formatiran) datotečni sustav.
Postoje tri trip diskovnih particija:
- Primarna (Primary)
- Proširena (Extended)
- Logička (Logical)
Primarne particije mogu biti bootabilne i limitirane su na četiri particije po disku ili raid jedinici. Ako shema particioniranja zahtijeva više od četiri particije, potrebno je stvoriti jednu proširenu particiju koja će sadržavati proizvoljan broj logičkih particija.
Proširene particije nisu iskoristive same po sebi; one su jednostavno ogrtač oko skupine logičkih particija. Tvrdi disk može sadržavati samo jednu proširenu particiju, koja zatim može biti podijeljena na logičke particije. Primijeti da se proširena particija smatra i primarnom particijom, tako da stvaranje proširene particije znači da su dostupne još samo tri primarne na tom istom disku. Ipak, najveći broj logičkih particija unutar proširene ne postoji: može ih biti koliko god želiš.
Swap partition
A swap partition is a place on the drive where virtual RAM resides, allowing the kernel to easily use disk storage for data that does not fit into physical RAM.
Historically, the general rule for swap partition size was 2x the amount of physical RAM. Over time, as computers have gained ever larger memory capacities, this rule has become increasingly deprecated. Generally, on machines with up to 512MB RAM, the 2x rule is usually quite sufficient. If the installation machine provides gratuitous amounts of RAM (more than 1024MB) it may be possible to have a smaller swap partition than what the 2x rule indicates, or even to completely forget a swap partition altogether, since the option to create a swap file is always available later. So, on machines with 2GB RAM or more, you will not normally need to create a swap partition at all.
A 1GB swap partition will be used in this example.
Partition scheme
A disk partitioning scheme is a very personalized preference. Each user's choices will be unique to their own computing habits and requirements. If you would like to dual boot Arch Linux and a Windows operating system please see Windows and Arch Dual Boot.
Filesystem candidates for separate partitions include:
/ (root) The root filesystem is the primary filesystem from which all other filesystems stem; the top of the hierarchy. All files and directories appear under the root directory "/", even if they are stored on different physical devices. The contents of the root filesystem must be adequate to boot, restore, recover, and/or repair the system. Therefore, certain directories under / are not themselves candidates for separate partitions. (See warning below).
/boot This directory contains the kernel and ramdisk images as well as the bootloader configuration file, and bootloader stages. /boot also stores data that is used before the kernel begins executing userspace programs. This may include saved master boot sectors and sector map files. /boot is essential for booting, but is unique in that it may still be kept on its own separate partition (if required).
/home Provides subdirectories, each named for a system user, for miscellaneous personal data storage as well as user-specific configuration files for applications.
/usr While root is the primary filesystem, /usr is the secondary hierarchy for all system users' data, including the majority of multi-user utilities and applications. /usr is shareable, read-only data. This means that /usr shall be shareable between various hosts and must not be written to, except in the case of system update/upgrade. Any information that is host-specific or varies with time is stored elsewhere.
/tmp directory for programs that require temporary files such as '.lck' files, which can be used to prevent multiple instances of their respective program until a task is completed, at which point the '.lck' file will be removed. Programs must not assume that any files or directories in /tmp are preserved between invocations of the program and files and directories located under /tmp will typically be deleted whenever the system is booted.
/var contains variable data; spool directories and files, administrative and logging data, pacman's cache, the ABS tree, etc. /var exists in order to make it possible to mount /usr as read-only. Everything that historically went into /usr that is written to during system operation (as opposed to installation and software maintenance) must reside under /var.
There are several advantages for using discrete filesystems, rather than combining all into one partition:
- Security: Each filesystem may be configured in Template:Filename as 'nosuid', 'nodev', 'noexec', 'readonly', etc.
- Stability: A user, or malfunctioning program can completely fill a filesystem with garbage if they have write permissions for it. Critical programs, which reside on a different filesystem remain unaffected.
- Speed: A filesystem which gets written too frequently may become somewhat fragmented. (An effective method of avoiding fragmentation is to ensure that each filesystem is never in danger of filling up completely.) Separate filesystems remain unaffected, and each can be defragmented separately as well.
- Integrity: If one filesystem becomes corrupted, separate filesystems remain unaffected.
- Versatility: Sharing data across several systems becomes more expedient when independent filesystems are used. Separate filesystem types may also be chosen based upon the nature of data and usage.
In this example, we shall use separate partitions for /, /var, /home, and a swap partition.
How big should my partitions be?
This question is best answered based upon individual needs. You may wish to simply create one partition for root and one partition for swap or only one root partition without swap or refer to the following examples and consider these guidelines to provide a frame of reference:
- The root filesystem (/) in the example will contain the /usr directory, which can become moderately large, depending upon how much software is installed. 15-20 GB should be sufficient for most users.
- The /var filesystem will contain, among other data, the ABS tree and the pacman cache. Keeping cached packages is useful and versatile; it provides the ability to downgrade packages if needed. /var tends to grow in size; the pacman cache can grow large over long periods of time, but can be safely cleared if needed. If you are using an SSD, you may wish to locate your /var on an HDD and keep the / and /home partitions on your SSD to avoid needless read/writes to the SSD. 8-12 Gigs on a desktop system should be sufficient for /var, depending largely upon how much software you intend to install. Servers tend to have relatively larger /var filesystems.
- The /home filesystem is typically where user data, downloads, and multimedia reside. On a desktop system, /home is typically the largest filesystem on the drive by a large margin. Remember that if you chose to reinstall Arch, all the data on your /home partition will be untouched (so long as you have a separate /home partition).
- An extra 25% of space added to each filesystem will provide a cushion for unforeseen occurrence, expansion, and serve as a preventive against fragmentation.
From the guidelines above, the example system shall contain a ~15GB root (/) partition, ~10GB /var, 1GB swap, and a /home containing the remaining disk space.
Manually Partition Hard Drives (with cfdisk)
Start by creating the primary partition that will contain the root, (/) filesystem.
Choose New -> 'Primary' and enter the desired size for root (/). Put the partition at the beginning of the disk.
Also choose the Type by designating it as '83 Linux'. The created / partition shall appear as sda1 in our example.
Now create a primary partition for /var, designating it as Type '83 Linux'. The created /var partition shall appear as sda2.
Next, create a partition for swap. Select an appropriate size and specify the Type as '82 (Linux swap / Solaris)'. The created swap partition shall appear as sda3.
Lastly, create a partition for your /home directory. Choose another primary partition and set the desired size.
Likewise, select the Type as '83 Linux'. The created /home partition shall appear as sda4.
Name Flags Part Type FS Type [Label] Size (MB) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- sda1 Primary Linux 15440 #root sda2 Primary Linux 10256 #/var sda3 Primary Linux swap / Solaris 1024 #swap sda4 Primary Linux 140480 #/home
Choose Write and type 'yes'. Beware that this operation may destroy data on your disk. Choose Quit to leave the partitioner. Choose 'Done' to leave this menu and continue with "Set Filesystem Mountpoints".
Creating filesystems (general information)
Filesystem types
Again, a filesystem type is a very subjective matter which comes down to personal preference. Each has its own advantages, disadvantages, and unique idiosyncrasies. Here is a very brief overview of supported filesystems:
- ext2 Second Extended Filesystem- Old, mature GNU/Linux filesystem. Very stable, but without journaling support or barriers, which can result in data loss in a power loss or system crash. May be inconvenient for root (/) and /home, due to very long fsck's. An ext2 filesystem can easily be converted to ext3.
- ext3 Third Extended Filesystem- Essentially the ext2 system, but with journaling support and write barriers. ext3 is backward compatible with ext2. Extremely stable and mature.
- ext4 Fourth Extended Filesystem- Backward compatible with ext2 and ext3. Introduces support for volumes with sizes up to 1 exabyte and files with sizes up to 16 terabytes. Increases the 32,000 subdirectory limit in ext3 to 64,000. Offers online defragmentation ability.
- ReiserFS (V3)- Hans Reiser's high-performance journaling FS uses a very interesting method of data throughput based on an unconventional and creative algorithm. ReiserFS is touted as very fast, especially when dealing with many small files. ReiserFS is fast at formatting, yet comparatively slow at mounting. Quite mature and stable. ReiserFS (V3) is not actively developed at this time. Generally regarded as a good choice for /var.
- JFS - IBM's Journaled FileSystem- The first filesystem to offer journaling. JFS had many years of use in the IBM AIX® OS before being ported to GNU/Linux. JFS currently uses the least CPU resources of any GNU/Linux filesystem. Very fast at formatting, mounting and fsck's, and very good all-around performance, especially in conjunction with the deadline I/O scheduler. (See JFS.) Not as widely supported as ext or ReiserFS, but very mature and stable.
- XFS - Another early journaling filesystem originally developed by Silicon Graphics for the IRIX OS and ported to GNU/Linux. XFS offers very fast throughput on large files and large filesystems. Very fast at formatting and mounting. Generally benchmarked as slower with many small files, in comparison to other filesystems. XFS is very mature and offers online defragmentation ability.
- Btrfs - Also known as "Better FS" is a new filesystem with substantial new and powerful features similar to Sun/Oracle's excellent ZFS. These include snapshots, multi-disk striping and mirroring (basically software raid without mdadm), checksums, incremental backup, and on-the-fly compression (which can give a significant performance boost as well as save space), and more. It is still considered "unstable" as of January 2011, but has been merged into the mainline kernel under experimental status. Btrfs looks to be the future of linux filesystems, and is now offered as a root filesystem choice in all major distribution installers.
- JFS and XFS filesystems cannot be shrunk by disk utilities (such as gparted or parted magic)
A note on journaling
All above filesystems, except ext2, utilize journaling. Journaling file systems are fault-resilient file systems that use a journal to log changes before they are committed to the file system to avoid metadata corruption in the event of a crash. Note that not all journaling techniques are alike; specifically, only ext3 and ext4 offer data-mode journaling, (though, not by default), which journals both data and meta-data (but with a significant speed penalty). The others only offer ordered-mode journaling, which journals meta-data only. While all will return your filesystem to a valid state after recovering from a crash, data-mode journaling offers the greatest protection against file system corruption and data loss but can suffer from performance degradation, as all data is written twice (first to the journal, then to the disk). Depending upon how important your data is, this may be a consideration in choosing your filesystem type.
Manually configure block devices, filesystems and mountpoints
Specify each partition and corresponding mountpoint to your requirements. Recall that partitions end in a number. Therefore, sda is not itself a partition, but rather, signifies an entire drive.
Choose and create the filesystem (format the partition) for / by selecting yes. You will now be prompted to add any additional partitions. In our example, sda2 and sda4 remain. For sda2, choose a filesystem type and mount it as /var. Finally, choose the filesystem type for sda4, and mount it as /home.
Return to the Main Menu.
Select Packages
All packages during installation are from the [core] repository. They are further divided into base, and base-devel. Package information and brief descriptions are available here.
First, select the package category:
- base: Packages from the [core] repo to provide the minimal base environment. Always select this and do not remove any packages from it, as all packages in Arch Linux assume that base is always installed.
- base-devel: Extra tools from [core] such as Template:Codeline, and Template:Codeline. Most beginners should choose to install it, as many will probably need it later.
After category selection, you will be presented with the full lists of packages, allowing you to fine-tune your selections. Use the space bar to select and unselect.
After selecting the needed packages, leave the selection screen and continue to the next step, Install Packages.
Install Packages
Install Packages will install the selected packages to your new system. If you selected a CD-ROM/USB as the source, package versions from the CD-ROM/USB will be installed. If you opted for a netinstall, fresh packages will be downloaded from the Internet and installed.
Configure the System
At this stage of the installation, you will configure the primary configuration files of your Arch Linux base system.
Now you will be asked which text editor you want to use; choose nano, joe or vi. Template:Codeline is generally considered the easiest of the three. Please see the related wiki pages of the editor you wish to use for instructions on how to use them. You will be presented with a menu including the main configuration files for your system.
Can the installer handle this more automatically?
Hiding the process of system configuration is in direct opposition to The Arch Way. While it is true that recent versions of the kernel and hardware probing tools offer excellent hardware support and auto-configuration, Arch presents the user all pertinent configuration files during installation for the purposes of transparency and system resource control. By the time you have finished modifying these files to your specifications, you will have learned the simple method of manual Arch Linux system configuration and become more familiar with the base structure, leaving you better prepared to use and maintain your new installation productively.
Arch Linux uses the file Template:Filename as the principal location for system configuration. This one file contains a wide range of configuration information, principally used at system startup. As its name directly implies, it also contains settings for and invokes the Template:Filename files, and is, of course, sourced by these files.
LOCALIZATION section
- This sets your system locale, which will be used by all i18n-aware applications and utilities. You can get a list of the available locales by running Template:Codeline from the command line. This setting's default is usually fine for US English users. However if you experience any problems such as some characters not printing right and being replaced by squares you may want to go back and replace "en_US.utf8" with just "en_US".
- Specifies whether or not to use the daemon locale (with "yes" or "no"). Will use the environment variable $LOCALE as the value of the locale if specified as "yes", otherwise will use the C locale (if left at the default value of "no").
- Specifies whether the hardware clock, which is synchronized on boot and on shutdown, stores UTC time, or local time. See Set Clock.
- Specify your time zone. (All available zones are under Template:Filename).
- The available keymaps are in Template:Filename. Please note that this setting is only valid for your TTYs, not any graphical window managers or X.
- Available console fonts reside under Template:Filename if you must change. The default (blank) is safe.
- Defines the console map to load with the setfont program at boot. Possible maps are found in Template:Filename, if needed. The default (blank) is safe.
- Select "yes" if you have a color monitor and wish to have colors in your consoles.
Example for LOCALIZATION:
LOCALE="en_US.utf8" DAEMON_LOCALE="no" HARDWARECLOCK="UTC" TIMEZONE="US/Eastern" KEYMAP="us" CONSOLEFONT= CONSOLEMAP= USECOLOR="yes"
HARDWARE section
- Specify additional MODULES if you know that an important module is missing. For example, if you will be using loopback filesystems, add "loop". Note that normally all needed modules are automatically loaded by udev, so you will rarely need to add something here.
Example for HARDWARE:
# Scan hardware and load required modules at boot MODULES=()
NETWORKING section
- Set your hostname to your liking. This is the name of your computer. Whatever you put here, also put it in Template:Filename.
- interface
- Specify the ethernet interface you want to be used for connecting to your local network.
- address
- If you want to use a static IP for your computer, specify it here. Leave this blank for DHCP.
- netmask
- Optional, defaults to 255.255.255.0. If you want to use a custom netmask, specify it here. Leave this blank for DHCP.
- broadcast
- Optional. If you want to use a custom broadcast address, specify it here. Leave this blank for DHCP.
- gateway
- If you set a static IP in "address", enter the IP address of the default gateway (eg. your modem/router) here. Leave this blank for DHCP.
- Setting this to "yes" will skip network shutdown. This is required if your root device is on NFS.
- This is an optional setting to be enabled only if using the netcfg package with optional dialog package. Enable these netcfg profiles at boot-up. These are useful if you happen to need more advanced network features than the simple network service supports, such as multiple network configurations (ie, laptop users).
Example with Static IP:
HOSTNAME=arch interface=eth0 address=192.168.1.100 netmask=255.255.255.0 broadcast=192.168.1.255 gateway=192.168.1.1 #NETWORKS=(main)
Example with Dynamic IP (DHCP):
HOSTNAME=arch interface=eth0 address= netmask= broadcast= gateway= #NETWORKS=(main)
Other notes
When using a static IP, modify Template:Filename to specify the DNS servers of choice. Please see the section below regarding this file.
DAEMONS section
This array simply lists the names of those scripts contained in Template:Filename which are to be started during the boot process, and the order in which they start. Asynchronous initialization by backgrounding is also supported and useful for speeding up boot:
DAEMONS=(network @syslog-ng netfs @crond)
- If a script name is prefixed with a bang (!), it is not executed.
- If a script is prefixed with an "at" symbol (@), it shall be executed in the background; the startup sequence will not wait for successful completion of each daemon before continuing to the next. (Useful for speeding up system boot). Do not background daemons that are needed by other daemons. For example "mpd" depends on "network", therefore backgrounding network may cause mpd to break.
- Edit this array whenever new system services are installed, if starting them automatically during boot is desired.
General information
The daemons line need not be changed at this time, but it is useful to explain what daemons are, as they will be addressed later in this guide.
A daemon is a program that runs in the background, waiting for events to occur and offering services. A good example is a web server that waits for a request to deliver a page (e.g.: httpd) or an SSH server waiting for a user login (e.g.: sshd). While these are full-featured applications, there are also daemons whose work is not that visible. Examples are a daemon which writes messages into a log file (e.g. syslog, metalog), and a daemon which provides a graphical login (e.g.: gdm, kdm). All these programs can be added to the daemons line and will be started when the system boots. Useful daemons will be presented during this guide.
The fstab (for file systems table) is part of the system configuration listing all available disks and disk partitions, and indicating how they are to be initialized or otherwise integrated into the overall system's filesystem. The Template:Filename file is most commonly used by the mount command. The mount command takes a filesystem on a device, and adds it to the main system hierarchy that you see when you use your system. mount -a is called from Template:Filename, about 3/4 of the way through the boot process, and reads Template:Filename to determine which options should be used when mounting the specified devices therein. If noauto is appended to a filesystem in Template:Filename, mount -a will not mount it at boot.
An example of Template:Filename
# <file system> <dir> <type> <options> <dump> <pass> shm /dev/shm tmpfs nodev,nosuid 0 0 tmpfs /tmp tmpfs nodev,noexec,nosuid 0 0 UUID=0ddfbb25-9b00-4143-b458-bc0c45de47a0 / ext4 defaults 0 1 UUID=da6e64c6-f524-4978-971e-a3f5bd3c2c7b /var ext4 defaults 0 2 UUID=440b5c2d-9926-49ae-80fd-8d4b129f330b none swap defaults 0 0 UUID=95783956-c4c6-4fe7-9de6-1883a92c2cc8 /home ext4 defaults 0 2
- <file system>
- Describes the block device or remote filesystem to be mounted. For regular mounts, this field will contain a link to a block device node (as created by mknod which is called by udev at boot) for the device to be mounted; for instance, Template:Filename or Template:Filename. Note: If your system has more than one hard drive, the installer will default to using UUID rather than the sdx naming scheme, for consistent device mapping. Utilizing UUID has several advantages and may also be preferred to avoid issues if hard disks are added to the system in the future. Due to active developments in the kernel and also udev, the ordering in which drivers for storage controllers are loaded may change randomly, yielding an unbootable system/kernel panic. Nearly every motherboard has several controllers (onboard SATA, onboard IDE), and due to the aforementioned development updates, Template:Filename may become Template:Filename on the next reboot. For more information, see Persistent block device naming.
- <dir>
- Describes the mount point for the filesystem. For swap partitions, this field should be specified as 'none'; (Swap partitions are not actually mounted.)
- <type>
- Describes the type of the filesystem. The Linux kernel supports many filesystem types. (For the filesystems currently supported by the running kernel, see Template:Filename). An entry 'swap' denotes a file or partition to be used for swapping. An entry 'ignore' causes the line to be ignored. This is useful to show disk partitions which are currently unused.
- <options>
- Describes the mount options associated with the filesystem. It is formatted as a comma-separated list of options with no intervening spaces. It contains at least the type of mount plus any additional options appropriate to the filesystem type. For documentation on the available options for non-nfs file systems, see mount(8).
- <dump>
- Used by the dump(8) command to determine which filesystems are to be dumped. dump is a backup utility. If the fifth field is not present, a value of zero is returned and dump will assume that the filesystem does not need to be backed up. Note that dump is not installed by default.
- <pass>
- Used by the fsck(8) program to determine the order in which filesystem checks are done at boot time. The root filesystem should have the highest priority with <pass> of 1, and other filesystems you want to have checked should have a <pass> of 2. Filesystems with 0 <pass> will not be checked. Filesystems within a drive will be checked sequentially, but filesystems on different drives will be checked at the same time to utilize parallelism available in the hardware. If the sixth field is not present or zero, a value of zero is returned and fsck will assume that the filesystem does not need to be checked.
- For more information, see fstab.
This file allows further fine-tuning of the initial ram filesystem, or initramfs, (also historically referred to as the initial ramdisk or "initrd") for your system. The initramfs is a gzipped image that is read by the kernel during boot. The purpose of the initramfs is to bootstrap the system to the point where it can access the root filesystem. This means it has to load any modules that are required for devices like IDE, SCSI, or SATA drives (or USB/FW, if you are booting from a USB/FW drive). Once the initrramfs loads the proper modules, either manually or through udev, it passes control to the kernel and your boot continues. For this reason, the initramfs only needs to contain the modules necessary to access the root filesystem. It does not need to contain every module you would ever want to use. The majority of common kernel modules will be loaded later on by udev, during the init process.
mkinitcpio is the next generation of initramfs creation. It has many advantages over the old mkinitrd and mkinitramfs scripts.
- It uses glibc and busybox to provide a small and lightweight base for early userspace.
- It can use udev for hardware autodetection at runtime, thus preventing numerous unnecessary modules from being loaded.
- Its hook-based init script is easily extendable with custom hooks, which can easily be included in pacman packages without having to modifiy mkinitcpio itself.
- It already supports lvm2, dm-crypt for both legacy and luks volumes, raid, swsusp and TuxOnIce resuming and booting from usb mass storage devices.
- Many features can be configured from the kernel command line without having to rebuild the image.
- The mkinitcpio script makes it possible to include the image in a kernel, thus making a self-contained kernel image is possible.
- Its flexibility makes recompiling a kernel unnecessary in many cases.
If using RAID or LVM on the root filesystem, the appropriate HOOKS must be configured. See the wiki pages for LVM/RAID and Configuring mkinitcpio for more information. If using a non-US keyboard. add the Template:Codeline hook to load your local keymap during boot. Add the Template:Codeline hook if using a USB keyboard (otherwise, if boot fails for some reason you will be asked to enter root's password for system maintenance but will be unable to do so). Remember to add the Template:Codeline hook when installing arch on an external hard drive, Comfact Flash, or SD card, which is connected via usb, e.g.:
HOOKS="base udev autodetect pata scsi sata usb filesystems keymap usbinput"
If you need support for booting from USB devices, FireWire devices, PCMCIA devices, NFS shares, software RAID arrays, LVM2 volumes, encrypted volumes, or DSDT support, configure your HOOKS accordingly.
This file can be used to set special configuration options for the kernel modules. It is unnecessary to configure this file in the example. The article on kernel modules has more information.
The resolver is a set of routines in the C library that provide access to the Internet Domain Name System (DNS). One of the main functions of DNS is to translate domain names into IP addresses, to make the Web a friendlier place. The resolver configuration file, or Template:Filename, contains information that is read by the resolver routines the first time they are invoked by a process.
If you use a static IP, set your DNS servers in Template:Filename (nameserver <ip-address>). You may have as many as you wish.
An example, using OpenDNS:
nameserver 22.214.171.124 nameserver 126.96.36.199
If you are using a router, you may specify your DNS servers in the router itself, and merely point to it from your Template:Filename, using your router's IP (which is also your gateway from Template:Filename). Example:
nameserver 192.168.1.1
If using DHCP, you may also specify your DNS servers in the router, or allow automatic assignment from your ISP, if your ISP is so equipped.
This file associates IP addresses with hostnames and aliases, one line per IP address. For each host a single line should be present with the following information:
<IP-address> <hostname> [aliases...]
Add your hostname, coinciding with the one specified in Template:Filename, as an alias, so that it looks like this:
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost yourhostname
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost archErrors in this entry may cause poor network performance and/or certain programs to open very slowly, or not work at all. This is a very common error for beginners.
If you use a static IP, add another line using the syntax: <static-IP> <hostname.domainname.org> <hostname> e.g.:
192.168.1.100 yourhostname.domain.org yourhostname
192.168.1.90 media 192.168.1.88 dataThe above example would allow you access a media and data server on your network by name and without the need for typing out their respective IP addresses.
The Template:Filename command reads from Template:Filename to generate specific locales. They can then be used by glibc and any other locale-aware program or library for rendering text, correctly displaying regional monetary values, time and date formats, alphabetic idiosyncrasies, and other locale-specific standards.
By default Template:Filename is an empty file with commented documentation. Once edited, the file remains untouched. Template:Codeline runs on every glibc upgrade, generating all the locales specified in Template:Filename.
Choose the locale(s) you need by removing the # in front of the lines you want, e.g.:
en_US ISO-8859-1 en_US.UTF-8
The installer will now run the locale-gen script, which will generate the locales you specified. You may change your locale in the future by editing Template:Filename and subsequently running Template:Codeline as root.
Pacman Mirror
Choose a mirror repository for Template:Codeline. Remember that archlinux.org is throttled, limiting downloads to 50KB/s. Check Mirrors for more details about selecting a pacman mirror. Note that the mirror chosen here will carry over into your installation.
Root password
Finally, set a root password and make sure that you remember it later. Return to the Main Menu and continue with Installing Bootloader.
When you select "Done", the system will rebuild the images and put you back to the Main Menu. This may take some time.
Install Bootloader
Because we have no secondary operating system in our example, we will need a bootloader. GRUB (GRand Unified Bootloader) will be used in the following examples. Alternatively, you may choose LILO, Syslinux or GRUB2. Please see the related wiki and documentation pages if you choose to use a bootloader other than GRUB.
The provided GRUB configuration (Template:Filename) should be sufficient, but verify its contents to ensure accuracy (specifically, ensure that the root (/) partition is specified by UUID on line 3). You may want to alter the resolution of the console by adding a vga=<number> kernel argument corresponding to your desired virtual console resolution. (A table of resolutions and the corresponding numbers is printed in the Template:Filename.)
- title
- A printed menu selection. "Arch Linux (Main)" will be printed on the screen as a menu selection.
- root
- GRUB's root; the drive and partition where the kernel (/boot) resides, according to system BIOS. (More accurately, where GRUB's stage2 file resides). NOT necessarily the root (/) file system, as they can reside on separate partitions. GRUB's numbering scheme starts at 0, and uses an hdx,x format regardless of IDE or SATA, and enclosed within parentheses. The example indicates that /boot is on the first partition of the first drive, according to the BIOS, so (hd0,0).
- kernel
- This line specifies:
- The path and filename of the kernel relative to GRUB's root. In the example, /boot is merely a directory residing on the same partition as / and vmlinuz-linux is the kernel filename; Template:Filename. If /boot were on a separate partition, the path and filename would be simply Template:Filename, being relative to GRUB's root.
- The Template:Codeline argument to the kernel statement specifies the partition containing the root (/) directory in the booted system, (more accurately, the partition containing Template:Filename). An easy way to distinguish the 2 appearances of "root" in Template:Filename is to remember that the first root statement informs GRUB where the kernel resides, whereas the second Template:Codeline kernel argument tells the kernel where the root filesystem (/) resides.
- Kernel options: In our example, ro mounts the filesystem as read-only during startup, which is usually a safe default; you may wish to change this in case it causes problems booting. quiet sets the default kernel log level so that all messages during boot are suppressed except serious ones. Depending on hardware, rootdelay=8 may need to be added to the kernel options in order to be able to boot from an external usb hard drive.
- initrd
- The path and filename of the initial RAM filesystem relative to GRUB's root. Again, in the example, /boot is merely a directory residing on the same partition as / and initramfs-linux.img is the initrd filename; Template:Filename. If /boot were on a separate partition, the path and filename would be simply /initramfs-linux.img, being relative to GRUB's root.
title Arch Linux (Main) root (hd0,0) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-linux root=/dev/sda1 ro quiet initrd /boot/initramfs-linux.img
Example for /boot on a separate partition:
title Arch Linux (Main) root (hd0,0) kernel /vmlinuz-linux root=/dev/sda3 ro quiet initrd /initramfs-linux.img
Install the GRUB bootloader to the Master Boot Record (/dev/sda in our example).
That is it; You have configured and installed your Arch Linux base system. Exit the install, and reboot: Template:Cli

OXNARD, Calif. - Tony Romo didn't look like somebody taking the day off.
The Dallas Cowboys quarterback was going through regular work Tuesday after coach Jason Garrett said he would practice "very lightly" at most on the 10th day of training camp.
Romo hasn't shown any signs of trouble in camp after having a cyst removed from his back in April.
But the procedure led to a mostly idle offseason for his arm and legs, and some intriguing issues the first week of camp.
Garrett hasn't told reporters whether Romo will play in the preseason opener after suggesting to the team's flagship radio station that he would rest. And there are questions about how far behind he was physically when he came to California.
"I think more than anything just getting back into it, getting the body to start, stop, go, quit, that football entails," Romo said Monday. "It's different from the conditioning aspect of it. So it's been a great week."
Romo was waiting for the Cowboys in California, having gone through a self-described boot camp in the mountains while trying to cram a full offseason of conditioning into about a month and a half.
He said he worked as hard as he could to get ready, and practicing Tuesday when Garrett said it might be a day off was another sign he feels good enough to keep going.
"Football is hard to duplicate an 11-on-11 experience with the exact same tempo and feeling," Romo said. "But there are people around you and it's something you need to do. I feel very comfortable right now."
The 33-year-old downplayed the procedure to remove the cyst even in the report that broke the news, saying he was sitting out offseason workouts mostly for precautionary reasons and not ruling out a return for the June minicamp.
He was cleared for full activity only about a week before the minicamp, and Garrett acknowledged last week that Romo "wasn't quite himself" at the start of camp. But Garrett did say he was progressing.
"I think his feet are much better now," Garrett said Tuesday. "I think he's moving more naturally and instinctively each and every day. And, again, that happens with everybody when you start playing football again each year. But it was noticeable to me that he was improving each and every day."
Cowboys owner Jerry Jones doesn't sound worried four months after giving Romo the richest contract in franchise history - a six-year, $108 million contract with $55 million guaranteed, or $3 million more than Super Bowl winner Joe Flacco got from Baltimore.
"I'm not seeing any differences," Jones told reporters over the weekend. "Maybe I see him playing into shape, he looks a little more comfortable out there than when he started. I like what he's doing. He's benefiting not only from on-the-field but off-the-field stuff."
Jones was unaware of the bizarre weekend flare-up over whether Romo would play Sunday night in the Hall of Fame game against Miami.
Garrett told the team's flagship radio station that it was "not going to be Tony's game" because it was an extra exhibition game but a day later would only tell other reporters that a decision hadn't been made.
Even if Romo plays, it would only be a few snaps. But it became a more pressing question after the new contract and Romo's idle offseason.
"You all sit down and tell me what you'd do, seriously, about just how much (to play him)," Jones said. "Here he is, he's coming back, working himself into shape. I think really what Jason meant was with all these guys with a fifth game, we'll use our head and be sensible about it."

Sweet Potato Bread Dinner Rolls
12.18.10 by Jackie
I knew these dinner rolls would be great conversation pieces because of the Okinawan sweet potatoes. They don't really add more flavor but they turn the bread into an interesting, purple color.
Sweet potato bread preparation is very similar to making brioche, except mashed sweet potatoes are added to the dough. My trick is to mix sugar with dry yeast and warm liquid and let the mixture develop for a few minutes before stirring it in the bread dough. Resting time is essential for making bread.

Taft college won fourth straight game by defeating Fresno City College 2-0
Taft College is in a bit of a rut – a nice rut.
The undefeated Cougar men's soccer team on Friday won its fourth consecutive game by a 2-0 score. And, all have been on the road.
This time it was a satisfying victory over Central Valley Conference archrival Fresno City College to boost the Cougars to 9-0-2 on the season and, more importantly, 2-0 in the conference.
Head coach Angelo Cutrona will be happy with another 2-0 win Tuesday when the Cougars take their seventh straight road trip to Sacramento to take on American River College (6-5-2) in a conference crossover match.
The thing that most worries him is overconfidence.
"The villain for us will always be complacency," he said. "I'm always looking for our guys to be calm, cool and sharp. We have to go into every game with that mindset. I think everybody understands what's at stake."
It was that approach that carried the Cougars to the win over Fresno.
"That was a big test for us," he said. "It's very difficult to win in Fresno. It wasn't a fluke. Our boys went in there an made a statement."
Cutrona said the Cougars controlled the tempo and didn't allow the Rams to counterattack.
"Fresno sat back and defended," he said. "At times they had eight players in the back. They use their size and strength to defend and then look for opportunities to counterattack, but we didn't give them an opportunity."
It was scoreless until moments before the halftime whistle when Tervon Demison scored on a header off a pass from Ramiro Barraza.
"That goal came at a perfect time and solidified what we were trying to do," Cutrona said. "It you don't score there are no brownie points."
Demison's goal forced Fresno to completely change its strategy for the second half, he said.
"They came out with a completely different lineup with three forwards up top to apply more pressure. We never gave them any real opportunities."
Edgar Placensia, a sophomore midfielder from Wasco, scored the clincher on a shot from about 25 yards out after taking a pass from Jose Gonzalez.
Roberto Gonzalez, a sophomore from Taft High, recorded his fourth shutout in a row with five saves. He ranks 10th in the state among goalkeepers.
Fresno, the defending CVC champion, saw its record slip to 1-1 in the conference and 6-4-1 overall.
Despite the win, the Cougars slipped from No. 1 to No. 2 in the state power rankings.
City College of San Francisco moved into the top spot with a scoreless tie against No. 5 Hartnell College.
After making the trip to play American River, the remainder of the schedule favors the Cougars. Six of their eight matches are at home.

I'm working on a very simple top-down shooter (in the vein of Smash TV for the SNES) to help myself with learning the BGE. I have my controls set up so that W, A, S, D move the player while the directional buttons shoot in that respective direction. I have everything working fine except two things. Whenever I hold down and right simultaneously, the player is not able to move up; and whenever I hold up and right simultaneously, the player is not able to move left and right. I've been trouble shooting this for a few days now and I can't seem to figure it out. Does anyone have any ideas why this might be happening. I can send you the blend file if you need to see the logic.
Any help you can provide is greatly appreciated.

Same sortof prob, I havn't figured out a work around. Seems sometimes, not always, that two keyboard buttons pressed and held down at exact same time is no go on both. There also seems like a 2 button limit on keys held down even if not at the exact same time, have to let off one to get the 3rd to work.

Ann Ward Spaeth, 78, of Chestnut Hill, one of the founders and first president of the Chestnut Hill Historical Society and a longtime community activist and volunteer, died Jan. 11 of cancer at Chestnut Hill Hospital.
Mrs. Spaeth's four-plus decades of community involvement began with a letter to the Chestnut Hill Local. Publication of the letter resulted in the formation of the Committee for the Preservation of Historic Buildings in Chestnut Hill, a group whose efforts saved the VFW Building at 8217 Germantown Ave. from destruction.
She continued her preservation advocacy, becoming a founder of the historical society and its first president.
For her efforts in historic preservation and for her long service in a variety of positions with the Chestnut Hill Community Association, including its Bylaws Committee, she was given the CHCA's Chestnut Hill Award in 2009.
Mrs. Spaeth also was one of the founders of the Chestnut Hill Residents Association.
Raised in Pontiac, Mich., she attended Brookside and Kingswood Schools in Bloomfield Hills and graduated from Smith College.
After her marriage to George L. Spaeth, who was then a medical student in Boston, the couple lived in a home on the beach in Clifton, near Marblehead, Mass. They moved to Chestnut Hill in 1960 where they raised three children.
Gentle and opposed to violence in every form, she was courageously outspoken and was arrested twice for her insistence on supporting those whom she believed were being treated unjustly.
Shirley Hanson, membership chairman of the Chestnut Hill Historical Society, who had been active in the 1966 campaign to save the VFW Building, said Mrs. Spaeth played a critical role in that effort and was instrumental in raising $4,000 in 48 hours to halt demolition.
"She was 1,000 percent committed and was single-minded in getting the result she felt was important," Hanson said.
Janine Dwyer, of Chestnut Hill, who had worked with Mrs. Spaeth in the community association, said she "always leaned to what was best for people and the environment rather than the corporate nature of things."
"She always did it quietly and continuously, and she got results," Dwyer said. "She once had a vigil for a tree, and the tree is still standing."
Ron Recko, a former president of the Chestnut Hill Community Association, said that of all Mrs. Spaeth's qualities "her passion for the community was unparalleled."
"In any issue relating to the quality of life in the community, you could always count on Ann to support the residents," he said.
In addition to her husband, Mrs. Spaeth is survived by sons George and Eric; a daughter, Kristin Lea Browley; three grandchildren, and three step-grandchildren.
A memorial gathering was held Jan. 20 at the Germantown Friends Meeting. Memorial donations may be made to the Visiting Nurse Association of America, 900 19th Street, Suite 200, Washington, DC 20006.

Visitors observe Demonstration
Garden rattlesnake "dance"
Horticulturist Steve Carter and about a half-dozen visitors
who were fortunate enough to be exploring the Demonstration Garden on the
morning of Sept. 7 witnessed two sizable western diamondback rattlesnakes
engaging in a ritualized behavior often called a "dance." Was it
a courtship ritual between snakes of opposite sex? Combat?
You can see by Steve's photos both rattlers were nearly identical in size at just more than three-feet long. Was this a competion pitting one male against another? For a definitive answer we asked Marty Feldner of reptilesofaz.com Here's his answer.
"The 'snake dance' you witnessed was to determine dominance between two males. This behavior has been recorded in a number of species of rattlesnake but is most frequently witnessed in diamondbacks. One reason it is most frequently witnessed in diamondbacks is the bi-phasic breeding season: Diamondbacks have both a spring and a late summer/fall breeding season - other rattlesnake species have only a single breeding season. During these times when males encounter one another they will raise the forward portion of their body off the ground and engage one another. Usually, the larger male will force the smaller male to the ground - sometimes quite forcefully.
If the two snakes are of equal size the interaction can last a long time if the snakes want to "fight" it out, or can end rather quickly as the snakes realize they are equally matched.
The name for the snake dance behavior is "combat." The male who wins may win breeding rights if a female is present or nearby. The male who loses has a physiological response which will result in a rise of stress hormones and generally will seek refuge, losing interest in breeding.
Some further info...You asked if there was a possible territorial dispute. Snakes have home ranges but not territories. Territoriality implies that an organism will guard and defend its home range against other members of its species.
Snakes don't defend their home ranges. Only in times of breeding do we witness interactions to determine dominance amongst snakes.
Courtship in rattlesnakes is much more subtle than the combat display you witnessed. When a male encounters a female he will usually position himself close to the female - sometimes the snakes are coiled and sometimes not. The interested male will generally lay his head on the female, often twitching or jerking his head in a behavior termed "chin rubbing." Females may be receptive and copulate or may be unreceptive and try to hide their head.

ArchitectsMonique Brady-Ward, Scott Woodward and Jen Wood
LocationCowes, Australia
Text description provided by the architects. Nestled in amongst the tee trees and coastal scrub on the Silverleaves foreshore is a pair of glistening red fins – a bold response to the client's brief for a "grand gesture on limited means".
Commissioned by the architect's parents – a horticulturalist and owner of a timber mill respectively – their desire was for a "house by the beach, rather than a beach house" with sitting spaces for all seasons, morning or afternoon "to chase the sun, or escape it."
Reminiscent of a Serra sculpture, the two striking red glazed-brick blade walls cut through the site, organising program into linear bands including a services strip, private program and public program.
To the western boundary, the setback has been exploited to house a strip of services including a hills hoist, water tanks and externally hung stair that leads to the roof deck. Wedged between the fins is the discreet private domain – here the walls' tapering geometry serves to define a larger master bedroom, and smaller ancillary wet areas and guest rooms. Beside this to the east, a generous lighting-filled glass box containing the more public program clings to the luminescent bricks and occupies the majority of the site.
Vertical circulation through the house is via a continuous corkscrew staircase connecting all five levels. Cleverly located between the two blade walls, the staircase requires the visitor to pass between the three distinct programmatic zones through thresholds in the brickwork, emphasizing the red walls as the separator and mediator.
The Finn house achieves a maximum effect through an economy of means by employing glazed bricks throughout the interior of house – amplified in the double height living space – and as an almost civic gesture that projects out towards the street, offering striking colour to an otherwise muted neighborhood, and providing a sense of address.
As "seconds", the colour of the glazed bricks varies slightly – a 'defect' that has been celebrated in this project by interspersing the colours to create a mottled, reflective sheen.
By comparison the western elevation is more humble, employing "thirds" that were destined to end up in landfill. This strategy of a hierarchy of elevations extends to the northern façade – which adopts a much more domestic and informal language complete with red candy-striped Brunswick blinds and a deep verandah.
Allusions to suburbia are also evident in the three receding volumes that present to the street, recalling the triple-fronted dream home. Disparate references include Lautner's lavish approach to materials and geometry in defining fluid space, and the Featherstone House's spatial organization and volumetric relationships.
Constructed by an owner-builder, the cost of the project was kept to a minimum. Native pocket gardens – irrigated by grey water collection tanks – have been planted to provide soft landscape screening to the living space.
The house is north facing - operable sliders afford cross-flow ventilation, and the glazed brick fins provide thermal mass and shield the living areas from the harsh afternoon heat, so that the clients can enjoy their place in the sun without compromise.

Chapter IINATHANIEL HAWTHORNE SKEPTIC
It was now time for me, therefore, to go and hold a little talk with the conservatives, the writers of the North American Review, the merchants, the politicians, the Cambridge men, and all those respectable blockheads who still, in this intangibility and mistiness of affairs, kept a death-grip on one or two ideas which had not come into vogue since yesterday morning. In this suggestive pronouncement the intellectual position of Hawthorne is revealed. Cool, detached, rationalistic, curiously inquisitive, he looked out upon the ferment of the times, the clash of rival philosophies and rival interests, only to bring them into is study and turn upon them the light of his critical analysis. One after another he weighed the several faiths of New England, conservative and transcendental and radical, and ended skeptic. He was too much of a realist to change fashions in creeds. Time, experience - he is always remembering - have created men as we find them, and very likely only time and experience can make them over into something different. The conservatives would seem to have common sense on their side, for they are seeking to retain what has hitherto been won; but the reformers are not without justification as well, for impelled by an ardent faith they are seeking to win new conquests. But whether that which the conservatives defend so valiantly is worth defending, or whether the goal towards which the reformers drive so furiously is worth the trouble, are questions about which the rationalist maybe permitted his doubts. The universe in which he found himself was a moral universe, Hawthorne on the whole believed; and if that were true then man's chief business an urgent problem was the matter of a sufficient morality.Radical in is intellectual processes, he could never become greatly interested in specific radicalisms. He is often thought of as a transcendentalist, and his association with the Peabodys and his venture into Brook Farm might seem to lend color to such an interpretation. Yet nothing in his intellectual sympathies marks him as of the school. The polar conceptions of transcendentalism repelled rather than attracted him. Political and metaphysical speculation left him cold, and the twin revolutionary forces of the time, French romanticism and German idealism, never deeply affected his thinking. Amid all the flux he retained much of the older Calvinist view of life and human destiny. Though nominally a Unitarian he did not share Charming's faith in the perfectibility of man. The buried voice of God that the transcendentalists professed to have discovered in instinct, he greatly distrusted. Man seemed to him quite as likely to turn out to be a child of, the devil as the first-born of God. Perhaps through a long and uncertain process he may grow into something nobler than he now is, but for the present the fact remains that the human heart, if not desperately wicked, is at least on familiar terms with evil; too often it is cold, selfish, malignant, and its secret promptings need watching. Doubting the indwelling presence of the divine Over-soul, he could find no justification for the transcendental faith in the excellence of the universe, out of which came the genial optimism of the Emersonians. Too pronounced a rationalist to comprehend the mysticism that lurked in the heart of the transcendental faith, he remained cold to the revolutionary criticism that was eager to pull down the old temples to make room for nobler. Eager souls, mystics and revolutionaries, may propose to refashion the world in accordance with their dreams; but evil remains, and so long as it lurks in the secret places of the heart, Utopia is only the shadow of a dream. And so while the Concord thinkers were proclaiming man to be the indubitable child of God, Hawthorne was critically examining the question of evil as it appeared in the light of his own experience. It was the central fascinating problem of his intellectual life, and in pursuit of a solution he probed curiously into the hidden, furtive recesses of the soul. The isolation in which he chose to brood over the problem, seeking to take the solution by surprise in unguarded moments, was the natural consequence of his temperament and his habits. He lived singularly remote from common interests, singularly self-sufficient. Both as thinker and artist he suffered from his self-imposed isolation. The twelve years of his apprenticeship, closely immured and given over to spinning cobwebs about the old Puritan rafters, drawing the stuff of his romance out of his own bowels, may have facilitated the development of technic, out it laid narrow limitations on the matter of his art. Intellectually unlocalized in his Yankee world, he was the romancer of a dead but unforgotten past, at home only where the New England conscience brooded over sin - subduing the old nightmares to less terrifying dreams, intruding his doubts into old dogmas yet never emerging from the old shadows. Although he was a child of the liberation and had broken the web that Calvinism had woven about the mind of New England, he did not choose to quit the world from whose bondage he had freed himself. He would examine the old problem in a new light. In rejecting Calvinism as a religion, he retained it as a background for his inquisitive probing. It appealed to his imagination after his reason had rejected its dogmas; it determined his art after it had ceased to command his loyalty. In consequence, all his life Hawthorne dwelt between worlds. Though at times he tried to establish contact with Yankee reality, though he essayed to establish an intellectual rapport with his generation, he never quite succeeded, but remained to the last isolated, a frequenter of the twilight. Only in a narrow and very special sense was Hawthorne a romantic. With the romance of love and adventure he was never concerned; what interested him was the romance of ethics-the distortions of the soul under the tyranny of a diseased imagination. How little he shares in common with other romantics is revealed in his detachment from his native Salem. The place was not lacking in picturesque charm, present and past. During the long years he spent in his Salem study, the city was rising to the zenith of its brisk sea life, with its ships in the China trade, its venturesome fisheries, its echoes of the whaling industry at Nantucket. Materials for romance were lying all about the Salem wharves - such a show of canvas and spars and rigging, such briny smells, such suggestions of far voyages to outlandish places, such strange figures slipping in from the ends of the earth - such romantic promptings in short as would have intoxicated the imagination of Herman Melville, and that Joseph Hergesheimer wove into the rich tapestries of Java Head. A romantic could scarcely have found in America a setting better calculated to awaken a sense of brave adventure than in old Salem; yet for three years Hawthorne sat in the Custom House, with such materials all about him, and then turned away to the seventeenth century to write of Hester Prynne. For a man gifted with imagination to fail to lift his eyes to the horizon beyond which the hurrying ships were seeking strange markets, and instead to turn them in upon a shadowy world of half unreal characters; to overlook the motley picturesque in the foreground of the actual, in order to brood over an old adultery and twist it into theological sin, can be explained only on the ground that Hawthorne was concerned with ethical rather than romantic values, that he was interested rather in the problem of evil than in the trappings of romance. Aloofness of time and place served to isolate the problem, stripping away the wrappings of the physical, delocalizing it, transmuting the individual act into the universal. Thus isolated, Hester's sin becomes a symbol of that ancient evil which forever waylays human life and by strange perversions brings havoc to our hopes - the greatest havoc to him whose heart, like Chillingsworth's, is cold, selfish, malignant. This temperamental aloofness from objective reality was both the strength and the weakness of Hawthorne's art. In choosing to follow the way of the inner life he was true to his Puritan breeding. The perpetual turning-in of the mind upon itself, the long introspective brooding over human motives, came naturally to one who lived in the shadow of a Puritan past. In their anxious concern over sin the Puritans had become in some measure psychologists; how else could the secret impulses of the soul be probed and its dark workings laid bare? Hawthorne was only doing what Jonathan Edwards before him had done in his psychological clinic of the Great Awakening - examining the reactions of sin on conscience and character . From this comes the simplicity of his theme and the compelling unity of his handling. To be sure it is pathological phenomena that he deals with, as the phenomena that Edwards dealt with in his Narrative of the Surprizing Work of God, were pathological; and like Edwards, Hawthorne is led into insubstantial and tenuous regions where he breathes with difficulty. The substantial world of Puritan reality that Samuel Sewall knew, Hawthorne seems scarcely to have been aware of; he created instead his own Puritanism, fantastic and unreal. He was forever dealing with shadows, and he knew that he was dealing with shadows, and this consciousness was a perennial source of doubt and uncertainty that bred self-distrust. In setting himself the task of dramatizing sin rather than sinners, of creating romance out of the problem of evil, he encountered difficulties that oppressed him. The well-springs of his imagination were constantly running dry and he must wait till they filled again slowly. Hence the "development of his art is towards ever greater elaboration of scantier and scantier materials, until the joy of the whole becomes lost at last in the milder pleasures of detail."1 From the grave difficulties inherent in his theme came the inveterate habit of sliding into symbolism and allegory - from this and from the narrowness of his emotional life and the restrictions of his sympathies. The cold thin atmosphere of his work, one comes increasingly to feel, was due not alone or chiefly to the severity of his artistic restraint that forbade all rioting of the sensuous imagination; it was due rather to a lack of nourishment, to a poverty of ideas and sensuous imagery. His inveterate skepticism robbed him of much, but his inhibitions robbed him of more. A romantic uninterested in adventure and afraid of sex is likely to become somewhat graveled for matter. Like the Pyncheon fowls, Hawthorne's imagination had suffered from too long inbreeding; it had grown anemic, and every grain of fancy is clucked over and picked at and made much of. Once an idea comes into his head he is loath to let it go, but he must turn it about curiously and examine it from every angle. The striking chapter in The House of the Seven Gables, where the death of judge Pyncheon is played upon so persistently, is only an extreme example of his habitual method. The tongues that wagged over the minister's back veil were no more inquisitive and tireless than Hawthorne's when his imagination is fired by a vivid image. He will not let it go till it is sucked as dry as last year's cider cask. It is the way of one to whom ideas are few and precious. Knowing how little is in the bottle he will linger out the flavor of every drop. Hence his fondness for symbolism, and hence his frequent lapse into allegory when imagination grows dull. Because Hawthorne was an artist he was saved from the shipwreck that such a method might seem to invite; yet perhaps it is not unreasonable to suggest that he was an artist for the reason that only through the mastery of a refined technic could his scanty stock of ideas make any show at all. The intellectual poverty that resulted from his long immuring himself in a void is sufficiently revealed in his American Note-Books. In the somewhat tedious volume covering the eighteen years between 1835 and 1853 - the most vigorous years of the renaissance - there is no suggestion of interest in the creative ideas of the time, in metaphysics or politics or economics or humanitarianism. It is the occasional record of one who lived an unintellectual life, and it makes but a paltry showing when set beside the journals of Emerson for the same years. Few books are referred to; systems of thought lie beyond his ken. Compared with the thinkers and scholars of the time he is only an idler lying in wait for such casual suggestions as he may turn into stories. Almost childish is his delight in marvels. There is something of the spirit of Cotton Mather in his persistent recording of the gruesome and fantastic, in the hope that they will open a quarry for his art. In the year that Emerson wrote Nature, Hawthorne set down the following amongst some dozens of similar suggestions: "A snake taken into a man's stomach and nourished there from fifteen to thirty-five years, tormenting him most horribly. A type of envy or some other evil passion." The Note-Books, of course, are very inadequate records of his life, and yet that a mind should lie in wait for such grotesqueries, and treasure them, offers food for speculation. After his marriage they are much less frequent and his jottings become more normal-a change which the Freudians, no doubt, would be ready enough to explain. The one great adventure of Hawthorne's life was the plunge into Brook Farm Utopianism, a plunge that only proved the waters colder and less hospitable than he had hoped. It was a curious adventure for one of his temperament to engage in, and his eventual disillusion might have been foretold. Perhaps it may be explained as reaction from his long isolation. The glowing enthusiasms of the times must often have tempted him to leave his narrow walls, and share the intellectual and emotional stimulus that others professed to discover in the work of making society over. Whatever the explanation the venture turned out to be a failure. His skepticism followed him there and came to later expression in The Blithedale Romance, a work as thin and unreal as anything he ever did. It is worse. There is in its pages more than a hint of ill humor that colors his interpretation of the Fourieristic stage of the experiment, and slips out in his portraiture of the major characters. Hollingsworth both fascinates and repels him. A dramatization of the intransigent spirit of reform, his single-minded zeal for righteousness, is subtly fused with an intolerant egotism that destroys Zenobia, cows Priscilla, and wrecks the venture. Perhaps Albert Brisbane may have been in the background of Hawthorne's mind when he drew Hollingsworth, for it was Brisbane who influenced the change he seems to have resented; perhaps Garrison may have served to fill out the picture. Whoever it was, the figure of Hollingsworth is Hawthorne's reply to the summons of the social conscience of the times, done by a critic hose insistent skepticism will not shut its eyes, but discovers under a new masquerade the ancient evil of a cold imperious heart. Seventeen years before he wrote The Blithedale Romance, he had jotted down in his Note-Book the conception out of which came the later portrait: A sketch to be given of a modern reformer, - a type of the extreme doctrines on the subject of slaves, cold water, and other such topics. He goes about the streets haranguing most eloquently, and is on the point of making many converts, when his labors are suddenly interrupted by the appearance of the keeper of a mad-house, whence he has escaped. Much may be made of the idea. (American Note-Books, pp. 20-21.) Hawthorne's interpretation of Margaret Fuller is not so easily explained. Perhaps it came out of a subconscious personal spleen. Her rich paganism may well have disturbed a nature so reticent as his, so restrained by certain Puritan inhibitions. In an early sketch he commented on the unfitness of authorship for women, on the ground that "there is a delicacy . . . that perceives, or fancies, a sort of impropriety in the display of woman's natal mind to the gaze of the world, with indications by which its inmost secrets may be searched out" (quoted by Amy Louise Reed, "Self-Portraiture in the Work of Nathaniel Hawthorne"). Margaret's frankness in displaying her natal mind to the gaze of the world, her bold discussion of prohibited subjects like prostitution, could not fail to rub across Hawthorne's deepest prejudices. She was too vigorous and outspoken, too consciously endowed with sex, too frankly feminist, not to have ruffed his instinctive squeamishness. It was not her radical feminism in the abstract that offended him, if he may be trusted; but certainly in the concrete. A sexless feminism would not greatly disturb a mind tolerantly familiar with the current radicalisms; but the frank avowal of sex touched a sensitive nerve. It offended certain latent Puritanisms in him. He was fascinated by Zenobia and yet afraid of her - or of himself; so his hero falls in love with the anemic and witless Priscilla. How characteristic of a mind long fed on symbols, to turn away from the wealth of reality and prefer a shadow! After Brook Farm came no further experiments in the unsatisfactory business of a rapprochement with his generation. His marriage with Sophia Peabody brought with it the prosaic duties of providing for a family, and he had no leisure to play with social reform. Abolitionism he would have none of, nor perfectionism, nor Jacksonianism - the futility of such things became for him a fixed idea. That he once had the courage to make his plunge he seems to have rejoiced over: "Whatever else I may repent of," Miles Coverdale wrote, "let it be reckoned neither among my sins nor follies that I once had faith and force enough to form generous hopes of the world's destiny, - yes! - and to do what in me lay for their accomplishment." Yet the truer Hawthorne is to be found in the judgments set down in the Note-Book: "It is my opinion that a man's soul may be buried and perish under a dung-heap, or in a furrow of the field, just as well as under a pile of money." "Oh, labor is the curse of the world, and nobody can meddle with it without becoming proportionally brutified." The man who wrote that had much to learn about life and society, much that he might have learned from Thoreau. But Hawthorne never grappled with economics as Thoreau did, and he learned no more from him than from Melville, or from Emerson, or from any of the books he read by the wise of other days. Self-sufficient he remained to the last, hard-headed and practical, yet missing many a deeper truth that more receptive minds discover. He was traveling the path that leads to sterility, and the lifelong business of playing Paul Pry to the secrets of the conscience brought him at last to the comment, "Taking no root I soon weary of any soil in which I may be temporarily deposited. The same impatience I sometimes feel, or conceive of, as regards this earthly life." He was the extreme and finest expression of the refined alienation from reality that in the end palsied the creative mind of New England. Having consumed his fancies, what remained to feed on? 1 Amy Louise Reed, "Self-Portraiture in the Work of Nathaniel Hawthorne," Studies in Philology, Vol. XXIII, No. 1.

Earlier this morning Microsoft announced the Surface 2 and Surface Pro 2 at a press event in New York City. It was an invite only event with no live stream, so a lot of us lived vicariously through various live streams and press releases. Microsoft has now put the video of the event online for those not able to attend in person. Check it out below.
The video runs a little north of an hour, so make sure you're not going anywhere if you plan on watching it. You can check out coverage of the Surface event on the site, but it's always nice to watch these to see the products in action. Also, you won't be able to watch this on your Windows Phone device since it's streaming in a Flash player, but we'll update once a YouTube link goes live or somebody (wink, wink) rips it to YouTube.
Now the question we're all asking: Surface 2 or Surface Pro 2?

My thoughts on some of the comments raised on the overnight:
-Castillo was never healthy all year, but the times he did play his attitude was suspect. A healthy and motivated Castillo? Well, it could happen. He played well in spurts in 2007. The Mets would like to deal Castillo, but if that doesn't happen, I don't see them cutting him and paying him his entire contract. The Mets don't work that way.
-To me, Perez is one whom I would worry about being too complacent with a big contract. I have no basis to say that other than a gut feeling.
