Well I just restored via Doctor and will reinstall Archlinux tonight and make sure to setup autologin before I reboot lol.

I absolutely love this build already, and I'm not a developer ;)

Don't mind the lack of sound, because the touch useability makes up for it in comparison to chroot.

One question, any way for me to change timezone? I can only find US in the regional settings.

Still brilliant! Keep up the amazing work!

Thanks, I should read that Wikipedia page more... Probably would learn a lot from it :)

EDIT: Is there any way to turn down the brightness?

I managed to find an armv7 build of firefox, but it is quite buggy, google chrome works much better ;)

Command is as follows I think

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', ' ')pacman -S chromium-dev

Please be aware that Chrome != Chromium. ;)

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('securitybreach', 'I') am connected to novaterm but only see the Touchpad files and not the android ones. Can I mount the arch filesystem using Novacom?

I have not found a way.
Anyone know a way to get in and fix something in the Arch install if we mess it up and can't boot.
So far I think I've re-installed at least 6 times to fix boot configuration mistakes.

Firefox has been a notorious PITA to get built for quite a while, but chromium we can build easily and works well on everything I've used it on.
Arch Linux ARM exists and continues to grow through community support, please donate today!

Well if it boots but you cannot get X to start correctly, you can always just ssh into the touchpad from your computer and make the changes. Sshd is started by default and uses the normal port 22 unless you change it to another port. So just open up a terminal and:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'ssh linux@IP-address')
assuming your username is still 'linux'. Fix you issues and then just su to root and reboot via ssh.
