I think this is fine. It'll throw some people off, but ZSH really is a better interactive shell. sysresccd does this and its rather nice. It isn't like bash won't be available if it becomes _that_ unpleasant for the user.

This might look controversial, so let me explain. As our new install method is based on the usage of various cli tools our plain ash setup gets a little inconvinient. This patch adds zsh and a feature rich default config. We will get menu based completion and inline help for e.g. pacman but also our install scripts, rc.d and a lot of other tools. This should make the iso easier to use and more accessable.

I haven't found any real downside here, so let me know if you can think of any. Also please try it first if you haven't yet. E.g. try things like pacstrap -<tab> etc..

If there are no major concerns I would suggest we try this for at least one release. With our monthly releases we can simply revert this for the next one if user feedback is all negative.
