The current documentation has been uploaded temporarily to

http://veloxis.de/archdocs/arch-install-guide.txt and
http://veloxis.de/archdocs/arch-install-guide.html

respectively.

Of course, the changes Tobias refers to are NOT included as of yet, but we'll arrange something. Right? RIGHT? Of course we will.

- We need to change that ArchLinux now officially supports x86_64 cpu archticture. It's no more a community project.
- We shouldn't talk so much about installation using a floppy. simply drop a line that this way is no more officially supported. Remove no more needed parts.
- hard disc auto-prepare needs to be updates as already mentioned
- we should choose only one device naming sheme and that should be the one for PATA
- /etc/locale.gen and root pw is set now within the installation process
