You must did something wrong. Noone else reported such issue. I have installed both of them successfully.
Could you provide more details?

i've installed arch linux before, version duke, and i installed 2007.08-02 the same way

only one thing i could think of is:
how much RAM is installed?

you are the only one with issues, any update?
Comment by nathan (ndowens) - Saturday, 15 December 2007, 16:15 GMT
It seems to happen with the ftp install and not core install
Comment by Tobias Powalowski (tpowa) - Sunday, 16 December 2007, 10:23 GMT
which mirror you used?
Comment by nathan (ndowens) - Sunday, 16 December 2007, 20:21 GMT
At the time i used probably either gatech.edu or vt.edu, the one i downloaded now is from gatech.com and works fine, not sure if the bad one came from vt or gatech, if it was gatech they probably fixed it but that would be the two mirrors i'd use since they are the fastest for me

The same thing had happen to me with FTP install (x86_64), but I don't remember which server I used...

I installed arch (2007.08-02 i686) today with the ftp install and i've no problems with the conf files.

Same thing happened to me today, I did two ftp VMware installs, first went well...
The second time somehow rc.conf was empty... the only thing different was that I tried to install pacman 3.1.1 first (select packages: base->only pacman), and later all other packages (well base plus some others)... to try and circumvent the permission problems on /tmp... I didn't see any errors or something...
Just reporting this in case something might be wrong indeed...
Now I'm going to try again of course :)

BTW I used the i686 2007-11-04 ftp iso... 788 RAM and ftp surfnet mirror...

Same problem
I used 2007.08-02, ftp-install. Installation failed because of missing packet lists or something like that. As a result of this issue, nothing became installed or built and so the config-files were empty. My system has 1024MB RAM and i tried 3 mirrors: hosteurope, tu-chemitz.de and mir1.archlinux.fr
The core-cd-install works fine.

please try the latest rc-iso, ftp should work with them again:
ftp://ftp.archlinux.org/other/rc-iso/2008.03
