Hi people, Downloaded archlinux-2009.08-alpha-core-x86_64.iso, but to install the packages I realized were not installed after the verification of integrity. In "Configure System" all files /etc/* were blank when trying to save a file using vi editor have generated the error " 'mnt/etc/*' E212: Can not open file for writing" and when I set the password for the root have caused the error "chroot: cannot run command `passwd ': No such file or directory.". The file /arch/arch-install-guide.txt don't exist. Somebody could help me solve them? I apologize for my English! Flavio Lira

Hi guys, As you may have read already (http://www.archlinux.org/pipermail/arch-releng/2009-July/000549.html ) we are working on a new release, which we would like to have out there by froscon. (22 august 2009)
You'll find the alpha images here: http://build.archlinux.org/isos/ Target audience: interested hackers, eg the people on this list.

I took the alpha installers for a spin. I haven't downloaded an iso since 2007 and a bit has changed! Good work.
I used archlinux-2009.08-alpha-core-i686.iso in qemu and installed a very minimal system (filesystem, kernel26, initscripts, pacman & grub). Had no real issues, although I did nothing fancy...
A couple of minor suggestions: You could use a "clear" on exiting the installer as the prompt was still covered in the background colors. When I get a message about going back and do rollback (after changing filesystem stuff) and I click "yes", I get sent back to the main menu instead of the hard disk setup menu.

Not sure which dialog exactly you're talking about. There is one that suggests a rollback if something failed during partition/filesystem processing (that by itself would be bad) And rolling back is also proposed if you select one of partion/autoprepare/configure manually if you have previously configured your disks already.
Please report a bug for this, and describe clearly what exactly happens.
The 'clear' at the end is added btw.
