I've read the wiki page for arch-install-scripts. It is not very "user-friendly". Any hope to see this "embedded" in a program, like good old arch/setup ?
Personally I think we would be better off with just these scripts + lots of documentation. If you are interested in an installer, then I guess the best solution is to get involved with the AIF and get it into shape again.
I'm not afraid of these scripts, but it could drive away some users which are not ready for a so "simplified" installation tool.
I think this is a good thing (once we have proper documentation). It forces users to understand how their system is set up, and how to fix it in case of problems. Unlike with other distributions (e.g. Ubuntu), I think this is a necessity when using Arch, and making this clear from the beginning should hopefully save both us and users from lots of grief. -t
