Hi,

(sorry my english)

I installed (using /arch/setup in VirtualBox 2.1.2) the
archlinux-2009.01-beta2-core-i686.iso and when installing the packages
texinfo and bash this message appears "error: /scriptlet failed to
execute/ correctly.", then no entries in /usr/share/info/dir for bash
and texutils are created. (of course, there is no bash in the chroot
/mnt at this point) Reinstalling bash and texutils, solves the problem.

When setting the timezone, "local -> America / Argentina / Buenos Aires"
(-0200 now)  at confirm prompt, the time displayed in "zone time" and
"UTC" are incorrect. For example:
Localtime are 4:00 then at prompt it display "localtime 2:00" and "UTC
4:00". But when advancing in the setup , and setting the current clock,
the time is displayed OK ;)

And may be for the next release: the mkinitcpio is executed 2 x 2 times
(two when installing the kernel26 packages (from base install) for
default and fallback images)) and another two times when "configure
system" whithout care if the mkinitcpio.conf have been modified or not.
Solution? Maybe --ignore kernel26 at "install packages point" and
installing them when "configure system", to save some time.

I put these bugs/suggestions in the bug database "release engineering"?

Good Luck!
