Details
(I picked 'testbuild' as the 'reported version', not sure
what's the right thing to do here)
E.g. do we allow blacklisting modules in rc.conf? https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php?title=Official_Arch_Linux_Install_Guide&diff=152699&oldid=145528 didn't fix it. The iso https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/DeveloperWiki:2011.08.19 provides initscripts 2011.07.3-1 so something went wrong here. |
This task depends upon

Something in the official installation guide? Can you point to which part?
MODULES: In this array you can list the names of modules you want to load during bootup without the need to bind them to a hardware device as in the modprobe.conf. Simply add the name of the module here, and put any options into modprobe.conf if need be. Prepending a module with a bang ('!') will blacklist the module, and not allow it to be loaded.

About the wiki version of the guide:
The Official Guide has been translated to other languages besides English, and listing the available languages in the summary box on the right side is not consistent with the rest of the wiki. Besides, template i18n_entry has been long deprecated in favour of template i18n, and anyway it was intended to be used between i18n_start and i18n_end.
{{Article summary wiki|http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Beginners_Guide Beginners Guide}} should be changed to {{Article summary wiki|Beginners' Guide}}.
The use of contractions like "it's", "doesn't"... is deprecated on the wiki.
Category "HOWTOs (English)" is deprecated.
On a related note I've seen contractions like "we've" and "it's" used in the dialog boxes in the installer.
Are there plans to ship another iso soon or should we focus on fixing the Guide that's in the wiki?
* modules information (+ also a way to do module blacklisting in the installer, probably in a file /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf)
* anything else?
Most stuff got closed because "The official guide is maintained in aif git".
* rc.conf looks quite different now, thre's no USEDIRECTISA anymore but we now have DAEMON_LOCALE.
* net-tools -> iproute2 transition: replace ifconfig mentions with the equivalent iproute2 command
* 'Official Arch Linux Install Guide Appendix' is now called 'General Recommendations'
2) ifconfig->iproute has already been dealt with in docs in git
3) general recommendations -> fixed in git
as for the blacklisting, that can also be done in /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf, so i just mention that in the guide now.
this is all in git now.
