I strongly agree.
This will only alienate new users that are unwilling to read man pages and the community provided documentation, ie., people for whom Arch is the wrong choice anyway…

Unless you are already an arch install expert (the clear target of the "Installation Guide as it stood about 15 months ago) you are unlikley to get to a point where you can comfortably access the 'community provided documention' let alone find examples that clarify things.
I have no idea why you introduce a straw man: the Installation Guide as it stands now, not 15 months ago, is the subject of the discussion. And a quick look at the history page will show you that it has changed significantly in that time… /J -- http://jasonwryan.com/ GPG: 7817 E3FF 578E EEE1 9F64 D40C 445E 52EA B1BD 4E40
