Ethernet disconnects on battery power/ac power is unplugged.

Debian doesn't mount pen drive correctly.

I have been using KDE SC 4 for few days and on startup, my RAM usage were ~600 MB (Nepomuk disabled, but akonadi server running). Then one day there was thunderstorm outside, there began raining, and suddenly with a flash of lightening a change came into my mind.

This article shows how to create an Arch Linux package
1) when you have got pre-compiled binary files available
or
2) have debian/fedora .deb/.rpm packages available and you have extracted them and got usr/, etc/, etc. directories with installable files in them. Hence want to convert deb/rpm packages into Arch Linux packages.

For this you have to create a directory structure let say
~/foobar/src
Also create ~/foobar/PKGBUILD.
