Well, once you merge this into archiso I will temporarily disable the automatic creation of images, hack
http://projects.archlinux.org/users/dieter/releng.git/ until it works, and reenable automatic creation.
But yeah, first make sure that 'core' images are really core and 'netinstall' are netinstall.
What's the way to just create all images?
./build.sh all_iso_single && ./build.sh all_iso_dual ?
