One problem solved. It turns out windows adapters don't work well on linux computers. I had connected my monitor to the computer with an insignia usb adapter and once that got removed this whole problem went away. I plan on doing an archlinux install this weekend and if errors get generated

The wiki has gotten more difficult to find useable material over the years with lynx. Many controls on it don't work since javascript supports and runs that wiki and lynx will never do javascript. The first time I accessed that installation_guide several years ago, the wiki had no sidebar on it.
