I am a long-time debian user.

Is there an Archlinux live environment available anywhere so I can take a look round without installing AL to my hard drive..?

You are already in a "live" environment. It is console-based and provides only a minimal set of tools. You can write an essay with nano or vi, or build software, or rescue a dead Linux system, or retrieve data from a dead windows one.

I created a grub menu entry for ‘archlinux-2011.08.19-core-dual.iso’ and booted successfully.. but afaict.. it only lets me run the installer.

I must be missing something..
