Ok..wow did I learn a TON today! I installed arch in a vb and got everything compiled! RAY-- UPDATE THE WIKI for compiling attract on arch!
ok..well it seems that I WAS confused. So I have to ask you: Did you make a "standard user"? As far as I can tell you
cannot make a list as root at all..I have tried. You need to have a normal user and a home folder. Logging in as "root" and trying to make a list gives me rom names every time. A "normal user" works as it should every time. Granted you are not connected to the "big bad internet" after installing everything. Using root as a user is very bad practice even if you are not connected.
So again make a standard user..just give that user the ability to sudo. Then try to make a list and report
