Yes, it was moved there after it was released. The subdirectory was created to not mix isos generated with archboot and archiso (official since previous release)

It's also still in testing phase so it's only hosted there, im waiting for some feedback before pushing it to the main mirrors.

why the Arch main mirrors? archboot is not the official install CD and it'll just generate confusion. Some people are testing it because it's dressed up like the official disc and they're under the impression it is.

All software from projects.archlinux.org is hosted in /other on main arch mirror, so why not host an isos generated with one of those projects on the same mirror? Previous version was sitting in the same directory as official iso, and there were no complaints AFAIR, this one will be in a subdirectory, so I don't really see any problem with it.
Hallo,

Some feedback:
I tried to setup a archlinux (32bit) with the ISO. At the step to set a root password the installation always make some problem.
I get an error: "chroot: cannot run commant 'passwd' : Exec format error"
Best regards
Dominik

Same problem here. The reason is that 'x86_64' is hardcoded into the mirrorlist, so actually everything that gets installed is with wrong architecture. Fixable by editing /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist.

Thank you for your help. I thought about somthing like this because I had problems to chroot with a 32bit GRML on the installed archlinux. Only with a 54bit it was possible.
I'll try your "fix" tomorrow.
Regards
Dominik
