Hi, We're close to releasing new official Arch installation media.
These media will bring *a lot* of new things, so we would like some broader testing.
The most important changes since 2009.02: - usage of new AIF installer - better disk editor with support for dm_crypt and lvm setups - support for automated installations (deprecates quickinst) - aufs instead of unionfs - smarter, faster, better boot device detection (esp. for usb users) - better date/time setting - refactored grub installation routines - and more...
To test this, you can try many things: - the interactive and automatic procedures. - net & cd-based installations - usb vs cd-rom images, isolinux vs grub.
We like to have primarily tested: - time/timezone setting with UTC and localtime - If the boot device gets fine detected during archiso boot hook - grub bootloader installation - USB images test, here if your USB controller gets detected.

New installation guide: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/DeveloperWiki:Official_Arch_Linux_Instal... You can get the RC's from: http://build.archlinux.org/isos/
Happy testing! Archlinux Release Team -------------------------------------- If i moved the RCs finally to public dir i could make this annouce on arch-general. IMHO i could not post anything to "Announcements, Package and Security Advisories" forum on bbs? Maybe this is something you, Aaron, have to do then... Gerhard
