Well, as upstream Arch 64-bit we don't have graphical GUI installers. You can install one of those via the AUR (if they work).
But Arch is experienced best with the standard pacman command line tool (IMPO). :-)

Re: on arch32 really no grafical package manager for a pentium 4?

FWIW, tkpacman from AUR runs on arch32 without modification, pulling 32-bit binaries from sourceforge of all places.  I was slightly surprised that I met all the dependencies it has without having to do anything.

Edit: To be clear, I don't think it's literally pulling in 32-bit binaries; what it's doing is pulling in tcl source and building it locally.  The only actual odd bit about it is it uses curl to get the source zip rather than using git or svn or something more usual like that, and because it's not building a C derivative you don't see the normal noise from autoconf/clang/gcc.

Although a machine I'm still having humanoid background - I'm just a new-life thorugh gender transformation! With the next 42 captcha I get the mad cow disease. :-)

Re: on arch32 really no grafical package manager for a pentium 4?

btw, it's a real good book you're demonstrating on the captcha. there are machines outta there that scan out captcha fields and enter them automatically. with virtualbox it is the same thing; Sabayan Linux isn't that akward concering kernel modules - but gentoo as a second distro after 7 years of Arch? all those 'emerge' commands, feeling like a nurse there; Gentoo is really difficult to install from scratch!

I work as a developer and debugger for FreeBSD (and there are awesome huge one in this (very) old system). Arch32 is modest concerning resources - the one who sold me this laptop gave me one without EFI; so always the grub updates for MBR although hybrid MBR with GPT: out of order for a decade now.

but ok, 160$ for a red dell vostro is a good buisness - I'm gonna having it down in a couple of months... but BTT Mr. Baumann: no AUR on tkpacman - octopi was great but depreciated.??

Bad thing today: stolen windows 7 on torrentz for rooting mobile, mabay making a BTC donation to M$; missing fire for cigarettes was the consequence: but when women speak from consequences -> you'd rather be careful. :-)

That's possible.  I've not yet seen GPT3 being so brief however (at least for it's first three posts on this thread), but yes in longer prose at least it does seem to go all over the place.

Re: on arch32 really no grafical package manager for a pentium 4?

No necessarity to delete my posts! I'm commited to use yay for AUR packages now.

I'm definitely not a bot but some certain kind of bot but a human backgrounded new-life. After gender transforming operation everything feels like plastic and our new-nature is a big hope against this cruel desease around. So don't be jealous or unfair against certain kind of life-forms, it's defenitely not a bot!

I cloned its PKGBUILD and makepkged it on Sunday.  Seems to be tcl source.  It built and ran fine on my eeePC.

Re: on arch32 really no grafical package manager for a pentium 4?

getting:

git clone 'https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/tkpacman/'

Cloning into 'tkpacman'...
fatal: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/tkpacman/info/refs not valid: could not determine hash algorithm; is this a git repository?

hmmm.....

Yes, don't try to clone the website directory.  Clone the 'Git Clone URL' which is listed towards the top of that page and is in this case: 'https://aur.archlinux.org/tkpacman.git'

Re: on arch32 really no grafical package manager for a pentium 4?

yes, of course, tkpacman is already running here this way since beginning (or middle) of this thread.
Meaning of question is if tkpacman supports basically a building way for AUR like pamac or the depreciated octopi?
