Hello,
a draft for a README file in our ISO directory (or where we
have to explain what each file is for). We could make the file names
anonymous like archlinux-200X.yy-ftp-i686.iso or name them exactly as
the current files. Then we have to change this README each ISO release.

Installation and Live-CD's
----------------------------
All CD's and USB-Images are installation mediums and Live-CD's,
which an be used as maintenance and rescue systems.
FTP-ISO's/Images:
-----------------
These are be the preferred install mediums for ArchLinux. You get always
the actual package versions using these mediums.

archlinux-200X.yy-ftp-x86_64.img x86_64/64bit USB-Image
For those who have problems with Grub as ISO bootloader, we offer
also CD-ISO's with isolinux as bootloader.

These are for offline installations when no Internet access available
to install the base system.
