Description:
When trying to install Arch via SSH one needs to:
- bring up the network ( it's normal )
- add "SSHD: ALL" to /etc/hosts.allow ( I think it should be added as default)
- set root password ( I think it's good, mayby a generated for every ISO boot, and showed on screen. It would be more clever :) )

Additional info:
* 2007.05 Duke Installation ISO

Steps to reproduce:
1. Boot the iso
2. bring up the network
3. try to ssh onto the machine with booted ISO
This task depends upon

After finally connecting to booted ISO, I run /arch/setup and get:

Error opening terminal: xterm-color.

and infinite loop showing this message, I tried to use Eterm and konsole (KDE).

I got it finally working like this:

TERM=linux /arch/setup

but then I can't run screen:

[Arch Linux: /]# screen
Cannot find terminfo entry for 'xterm-color'.

So I must run:
TERM=linux screen

But then:
TERM=linux /arch/setup
looks like crap :) all dialog backgrounds are black, only under text there's background color. ( like in scr_sht1.png uploaded )

Also there's no /usr/lib/ssh/sftp-server ( no /usr/lib/ssh/ directory ! )
So it's not possible to upload a file using scp, downloading works.

Line
"Subsystem sftp /usr/lib/ssh/sftp-server"
should be removed from sshd_config file, or that directory should exist, IMVHO.

Why would we want to allow to ssh from any host on intall iso system _by_default_?

So someone can install somebody Arch via net, the 'lame' person needs only to start the install iso, and bring up the network.
Further installation can be done by the person via net.

Then probably this should be an option in installer, but not default. (that's insecure :P).

the TERM= issue is solved and it's not wanted to have ssh access by default, you can use the pre config option via usb stick to configure ssh as you need it
