I used this new iso to install on my laptop and it does not create the devices on /etc/fstab. There is no "/" entry there. When booting i get a lot of "cant find / in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab"
I haven't noticed this, though it has been a few iterations since I fully went through the install. Gerhard, have you experienced this?
* AIF does not works.
This is known. I screwed it up when moving files in the package.
* There is no pt_BR keyboard layout on Grub Settings -> Keyboard;
Please provide one, I will include it.
* There's only two categories on "Select Packages". Base and base-devel. And there are some packages with categorie "None";
This is new. I'll look into it

No, all my test installations went fine. Of course, the necessary partitions must be mounted from the "Set mountpoints..." menu entry. Hugo, have go gone through this steps or have you partitioned,mkfs and mounted on command line?

This are the default groups since 2006.08. You could/should only install packages from base (and base-devel) and a few other packages during first time installation. Pre-2008.06 has groups like default or "other libs", but these aren't needed. Gerhard

I'm just wondering where the "None" packages come from.

The current installer download only core.db.tat.gz. So each package we offer in the installer that don't belongs to a package in core will get a "None" as repo source. We should investigate this (ex. how aif handle this). But i think it's OK, cause we advise the user at this point: install only the base/core system (and your absolutely needed additional packages: wlan stuff etc). But never heard that this "None" status irritates any user... BTW: Aaron, have you modified the archiso/package.lst for this Alpha ISOs (20-Jan-2009 17:53)? I miss dmraid, which we want include.

But it's on my/the todo list :-)

So this is only a problem with the core ISO? We could always change it from "None" to "other" later. Let's leave it as is now.

Ah no. I need to re-push out a mkinitcpio package, assuming that second patch fully fixes that USB bug. Then that and initscripts need to go to core before I build the ISOs. I will get to the package in the next few minutes

On a sidenote, i dont know how relevant this is to the above but theres a request to include brltty in the ISO: http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/12901 PS. Now thats theres a seperate Release Engineering section in the bugtracker maybe it would be best not having an Installation Category under Arch Linux? Greg

It's on my todo-list for the next ISO(s). There was also a thread on arch-general(?) about this, the needed changes are not very big AFAIR.

For some reason I can't delete the category. I moved all bugs to the releng project, and removed it from the display, but the category still exists. I have a feeling it's because closed bugs exist in the category... sigh
