Besides, archinstall was never meant to completely replace the standard installation procedure, right? It's kind of like partitioning really, there's just so many options (and lots of ways to break stuff too in that case) that there's just no way to handle it all in a simple, sane manner. Either way, I still appreciate the work you're doing here, just making Arch easy to try out in a virtual machine is already a success as far as I'm concerned.
