I took the alpha installers for a spin. I haven't downloaded an iso
since 2007 and a bit has changed! Good work.
I used archlinux-2009.08-alpha-core-i686.iso in qemu and installed a
very minimal system (filesystem, kernel26, initscripts, pacman & grub).
Had no real issues, although I did nothing fancy...
A couple of minor suggestions:
You could use a "clear" on exiting the installer as the prompt was still
covered in the background colors.
When I get a message about going back and do rollback (after changing
filesystem stuff) and I click "yes", I get sent back to the main menu
instead of the hard disk setup menu.
