Hey there, tested another install iso:
source: netinstall in virtualbox using eth0 with dhcp
mirror: http://mirrors.kernel.org/
editor: vi
time: chicago, with utc hwclock
partitions: /boot 200mb; swap 200mb; / rest
filesystems: /boot ext2; swap swap; / ext4
package selection: default base group with sudo
installation: failed to download grub, didn't move on, retried selecting install, only had to grab the package that failed to download. Everything continued as expected. NICE!
configs: left them vanilla except changing the hostname
package selection still suffers from https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/22428 FS#22428 - [test iso 2011.01.09] aif package selection should be sorted more naturally.
I didn't try btrfs so I can't comment on FS#22427 - [test iso 2011.01.09] aif fails to ask for mountpoint when creating btrfs partition.
Overall this installation went without a hitch and I would say that this iso is ready for an audience who doesn't use btrfs. The only usability annoyance I encountered was again, FS#22428 which made it rather difficult to find something like sudo.
Thanks for the great work to Dieter and everyone involved! Hope this feedback helps you guys.
thanks for the feedback. Dieter
