based on a script somebody made https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=129885 I wrote a profile for aif -p automatic: http://pastie.org/3737804 For creating the filesystems, i leverage the aif functionality (it supports everything needed). For partitioning and installing the bootloader I use 2 custom functions as aif currently does not support gpt/efi/grub2 The install seems to run fine, but since archiso currently boots through bios, i cannot make the efi entries with efibootmgr (no efi vars after loading efivars module). I saw the recent patches for archiso EFI support, what's the current status of that? Is there a method to create a usb stick similar as described here https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/USB_Installation_Media#Without_overwrit... that is: an EFI-booting usb stick with archiso, which you can easily mount to put custom files on? If only I can figure out how to make the system boot, I think I'm pretty close :) Dieter
