As I am planning (its finding the time) to re-record my install 
tutorials I will probably cover these. The question is, you've removed 
two of the advantages of the GRML install, how much value might there be 
in redoing the GRML installation of Arch?

I can think of a couple of advantages, what do others think:
* Wireless with GRML may be easier, I can't remember if the Arch install 
CD has wireless, but grml-network is really good for setting up the network.
* GRML may support more soundcards (I mean as well as drivers, I mean it 
may unmute more correctly).
* If you like reading docs, etc while installing or may want other 
tools, GRML has lots of great stuff on the CD.

I personally feel the Arch installer is the best way to go as it guides 
you through the process and so helps stop you forget a step. So long as 
people feel there really is a need for the installing from GRML I will 
try and support it, so please let me know if you want that.
