Based on an online Arch Linux installation instruction, I tried to install a 32-bit version of Arch Linux. However, the first installation command falls to complete. I am wondering whether the 32-bit installation is different from the 64-bit or not. I have done quite some online searches without a result. Where can I find the 32-bit installation instruction if it is different?
If you show us the error, we'll have a laugh and probably be able to guess.
Forums are not like poker. You DON'T have to keep your cards close to your chest. Some details help.
As I can recall, it can find "ping" and something error on wifi connection. I try another distro right now. If I come back to Arch, I will post all error messages.
It depends on the chipset used by the wireless adapter. It might require proprietary firmware or the driver for your adapter is not included in the installer.
You might be forced to use a wired connection to start the installer then try to configure the wireless adapter.
Ubuntu and Mint typically include proprietary firmware and drivers in their live versions.

I see. That is inconvenient. I guess it needs something from the internet during the installation. I just remember that it could not find "ping" (updated my previous post).
