If this happens, looks like I will have to remaster the ISO to put
docs back in for myself, since I don't like to waste paper to install
Arch, and don't usually have another computer beside me. The
documentation being on the CD was a big bonus for me, since I didn't
have to go online to get it when I was installing. I know of a few
people for which it helped as well, as they too didn't want to print
out all 30(?) pages from the wiki.
