In any case, if that doesn't happen I'll try to get the last two things confirmed. By 'boots' I assume you mean from CD? I intend to try it out on my physical system using unetbootin, but if you want it from CD I can just fire up VBox. Which would you prefer? Physical means I should be able to test wifi as well.

Okay guys, props to Thomas for finding out the problem with the initialization of wireless cards. I built new images, dated 2010.05.16 (aka final final images ;)) in which this should be fixed, and which also come with updated core packages, most notably kernel26-2.6.33.4-1 http://build.archlinux.org/isos/ thanks to everyone who tested the 2010.05.13 (or earlier) images. i received confirmation for 4 images with which a boot+installation went fine. for netinstall-dual.iso I only reiceved confirmation that it boots fine (but that's enough, given the other tested images).

I also used dm_crypt for the root partition and experienced no issues with that either. :) The new Grub theme used in the installation media is looking very sharp too. I love it. :) Awesome work Dieter!
