Hi Christian, Accidentally, I installed Arch just the day before the new installation cd came out, so my experience could be useful to you. I had no problems in the installation phase, but when I rebooted my system, I was welcomed by a broken installation: apparently, grub didn't find the kernel. The explaination was here: http://www.archlinux.org/news/changes-to-kernel-package-and-filenames/ GRUB could not find the kernel because the name was changed with the 3.0 version. So, you have to remember to change the default kernel name in your grub.conf. I had no other problems. HTH, Lorenzo 2011/10/16 John K Pate <j.k.pate@sms.ed.ac.uk>
Hi all, Thanks a lot for your replies. I have the network installation CD of Arch here so then, what you are saying is that it should download the old packages and then I just upgrade

Yes. Refer to http://www.archlinux.org/news/ and the forum if you run into any snags, but this should work fine.
