Howto - Install Arch Fast with KDE 4.4

In this video I install Arch Linux in VirtualBox with KDE 4.4, this is a quick install so you may want to take longer going through each of the steps if you are installing this for yourself but I have quite a bit of experience with Arch so I just installed what I required for the system.

I'm not a huge fan of Arch because of the package maintainers and their selection of dependencies for applications, it pulls in a lot of things which just aren't required.

This video just installs Arch, KDE 4.4 and gtk-qt-engine/qtcurve to make GTK apps look nice on KDE and QT.

You can skip dependencies if you answer "no"?

@IkarusKommt Only on metapackages.

I wish I would have found this nice speedy video before when I had xorg, xinit and kde left to setup. Oh well got it to run great anyway but I will keep this in mind next time. :)

[Techsnap]

Yep, you can install them all in one command, setting up .xinitrc is easy especially if you're using FOSS drivers.

Great tutorial! all we really need.

does this also make it so that when you boot, it autoboots kde, or do you have to type startx in tty1 first everytime?
