The original archlinux-2009.02-ftp-i686.img USB image was broken, a new image (archlinux-2009.02-2-ftp-i686.img) has been uploaded. We are sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused you. With one image broken, we also had to create new torrents: We now use a single torrent per file again and added more mirrors to the webseeds. All seeders should stop seeding the old torrent and get the new ones. URL: http://www.archlinux.org/news/435/

Installation can be done on a ext4 root partition. - Rescue and maintenance capabilities for Ext4 root partitions - Fallback ISOs with the ISOLINUX bootloader, for those that have trouble booting Grub-based images - Several bugfixes in the installer - Brought the included documentation up-to-date - Inclusion of AIF (Arch Linux Installation Framework), the next generation installer, currently under development.
