Hi,
Recently I've been going to my friends' house and installing arch on their boxes. Some of them had high speed wireless dialup internet (3.1 megabytes/s is the max) which required wvdial, so I had to carry wvdial's package in another pen drive.
It would be nice if wvdial was included in the ISO, so such people can have the latest system if they conduct an FTP install.
Maybe CC a copy of this to the arch-releng ML. Oh wait I just did. And perhaps add a feature request to the Release Eng bug tracker/

As far as I can see, none of the current packages [1] contains a dialing tool, so looks ok for me. [1] http://projects.archlinux.org/archiso.git/tree/configs/syslinux-iso/packages... Dieter
