As I said on the channel a few days ago, ConnochaetOS had this same problem with the standard Arch installer and solved it. I've tested the installation and it's just 5 steps long. It helps you with partitioning (automatic or manual) and then unpacks the base system on the disk, after setting the timezone and regular user. My vote is for including Connos installer in our x86* ISOs and on the tab installer Daniel mentioned. Then the precursor OS article wouldn't be needed, right? The installer is bash based so we won't have issues porting it :)
