I got arch installed and when i reboot it comes up to the screen that says

Arch Linux 0.4 (Dragon) (myhost) (vc/1)

myhost login:


now it says to enter root as user and enter no password, but nothing happens when I do this, whats the problem

Hi, flamesfan - I'm not really sure what the problem might be, but 0.4 is almost 4 years old now. Are you sure you wouldn't rather install something a little newer? An OS that's 4 years old might not even work with your hardware, unless of course you are using older hardware.

yeah actually it's an old laptop, this was only version I could find on the arch webpage
