Thank You Jerry 
I found it very difficult, but it was fun.
I thought it was a good way to try and understand more how much work goes into making the distros.
It is easy to not realize this when using a distro, so it was a good project for this reason too.
Looking I can see its like light years away.
It's a start of learning. I like to learn
I used the Arch Linux ISO then partition for root, home, and swap, format, enable, configure, then the Arch Linux base is downloaded from the prompt and the Arch Linux ISO is then removed from the Virtual Box.
The build is then done from the base files alone there onwards, you cannot reboot as there is no grub.
You download, add and then configure the grub, and other configuration pages and pages of the stuff, before you can do the first reboot after removing the Arch ISO or you have to start again, or be clever enough to know how to get back into it and I am not.
You have to download it as it is not in the base files, so you can choose which one you wanted etc.
It says they chose this grub as it is easiest for the first time trying.
Also they chose MATE and its why I only had the command for it.
Hope this explain to Moltke why the grub is as it is, eg I did not write the grub, I downloaded it and configured it.
After I finished with the book I then added some small bits of my own.
I used the "Definitive Series" on the "Linux and Open Source Manual", Volume 28 -
"build your own distro from the Arch base"
4 hours yes I can read and work fast when I am enjoying learning. I especially like to learn by doing projects, its how I got myself going with Linux Lite I done music projects, and GIMP projects.

https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Software
is like the Ubuntu software centre but made by Gnome , you can add in custom software source like Lite Software, and repos, it allows for installing software, OS updates, and security updates. I show it in use in the second video in the thread.

I can be a happy girl, and I am.
Yes, I do have a nice life, thank you.
