* added gksu and rebuild larchin with new python 2.6 too.
* all package are up to date to today (20081104).
You can get the iso here.

Issue with installer in arch-mini
I know what the problem is now. Its the new e2fsprogs package.
This is the problem:
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Reinstalling_GRUB#Errors
/etc/mke2fs.conf file was change and so the set inode_size is 256 not 128. This is made grub not install right with arch-mini to your hard drive. So basicly its not my fault this time.
I will added in the older /etc/mke2fs.conf file in overlay so it will not happen again. At least i hope.

Arch-Mini 20081102 Release
I'm final releasing a mini version of my project now. This release is differnet in that it doesn't have gnome and kde in it. Only light desktops.
* awesome has been fix. Its now it the Xsession script for calling on desktops. (I hope this works since i didn't test it.) Its not a boot option at the moment.
* Using isolinux boot menu now. This is so you can added files with isomaster and still be bootable. (grub livecd are not bootable if you remaster with isomaster.)
* Lxde, xfce, and e17 can be selected at boot.
* /usr/share/locale folder is remove like in last archiso-live. This is cause arch-mini is english only for now. (It also saves my ~40mb of space on the iso.
* The installer should be fine now. I have not touch those 2 files that cause the problem since i fix it. I just copy sysvinit and shutdown functions over the -chakra version in overlay. Made a if statement to see if /bootmnt/archlive.sqfs file exist so the cd may eject. If it doesn't exist it will think its on a hard drive.
Root password is ArchLinux
arch password is arch
You can get the iso here.
EDIT: For some reason this will not install anymore. I don't know why or how to fix it. In virtualbox it was something to do with /boot/grub/stage1 not be readable i think. Its best to not install it for now and coming future.
