Thanks,
Ok, pretty silly.. I was looking at all the projects yesterday, I must
have overlooked the 'installer' repo, because after some searching I
eventually found the scripts in a subdirectory of the archboot project,
so I called them that way
( http://projects.archlinux.org/?p=archboot.git;a=tree;f=installer )

Yesterday I've been working on splitting up the quickinst and setup
scripts in functions, which are now in files sourced as 'libraries' by
the fifa main program.  Now I just need to put the pieces together, and
probably hack some more to get it working.

PS: Does anyone know what license the installer scripts are under?
(http://projects.archlinux.org/?p=installer.git;a=tree )
Fifa is gplv3, is it okay if I put a note that says I took the sources
from above repository and modified/refactored them a bit, giving credit
to the original author ( Tobias Powalowski ) ?
