Why not just call it the Arch Linux installer?
Abhishek
1) because you can use the cd's for other things besides installing new Arch systems (disaster recovery etc)
2) because there are more means to install Arch linux systems (not all are supported right now, but I want to do so on the long term): pxe installs, installation from other "normal" arch systems etc

You can call it AIF then, that's after all the main program on the disc.
Abhishek
AIF is basically a set of bash scripts.  It is not a bunch of images for cd's and usb sticks.
