Hi, I have tried to install linux arch onto a CD just to give it a try and I am confused.
I am loading up Linux Arch 2016.01.01 since that was the newest version that can fit on a CD and I am greeted with a root automatic login thing.
Can someone tell me how to load up the GUI if there is one?
I might try manjaro to see if I like it.
Really sorry I never responded to this months ago, at the time I was a bit lazy when it came to actually doing stuff with linux.

Hi codwwe348,
Thanks for providing an update. I'd recommend that if you do end up trying Manjaro that you consider adding further updates. For now, have you found where to download it? https://manjaro.org/get-manjaro/
I's suggest Antergos over Manjaro. While Manjaro is descended from Arch, Antergos is just ARch with a pretty installer and a few packages to include their decorations. The installed system is Arch, not near-Arch.

i second this.
it's easy to miss the difference, but for the installed system it's much bigger than the difference between having a gui installer or not.
