I tried Arch in a virtual machine a while ago, it is a little bit daunting,
I was just left with a command prompt, really cannot be bothered to build

I have noticed the problem. The Iso did not properly download. When I
try to click top the file (edubuntu-10.04-dvd-i386) to see the
contents, the upper file with a cd says nothing to view. The bottom
