    dont worry, the wiki is excellent. Just watch a video of an installation to get an idea of what you have to do and then follow the installation guide on the wiki (its quick and helpful).

    @Bitwise The internet worked staright up with the live CD, sorry I didn't think to try on real hardware, everything ive done is on a VM so i might give it a shot on real isolated hardware, sorry should have tried this earlier! :-/

    @Bitwise can you recommend me any good display manager. I tried larbs ricing script but there is some problem with startx.

    @drekhi12 for lightweight, lxdm or lightdm. i like lightdm because the customization is pretty straightforward

    @Bitwise
    if wpa_supplicant does not work, it may be because there is another instance of it running in background (because of -B).
    Try to do a killall wpa_supplicant and run it again.
    Just for completeness, because this cost me hours
