    Although i don't like KDE i'll be checking this out to see how much easier it makes the Arch Linux installation process.

    Testing it, and its comming along well. Will defo help those who cant get through the text installer or are too lazy.

    Personally I will still use the text installer as it allows me to install only what I need not stuff what others need as well.

    This is true. I may however just use the liveCD to kick of the curses installer. So I have access to Google whilst I install.

    KDE4 has been fixed? Wasn't the point of Arch to be custom tailored for your pc? Will it be the same thing with the graphical live cd installer?

    I was a gnome-nerd until I tried KDEmod. Now I'm a KDE convert.
