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 Nice :)

Do you need grub2 installed on live-enviroment? In such case we need to replace grub with grub2.

no, aif currently only supports grub.  removing grub from the iso would probably break aif. (maybe aif only needs grub to be installed onto the target system, but i'm not sure) anyway grub2 is only a `pacman -S grub2` away

Why is grub a depends of AIF? Why not make grub optdepends? What about syslinux? - Keshav
