On Installing Archlinux now with the current TalkingArch

[Kyle]

According to Cleverson Casarin Uliana:

# Is there any issue installing ArchLinux right now using the current
# TalkingArch from July, or another image is planned for soon?

There will be no issues with either GRUB2 or syslinux aside from the 
normal issues you will see in the wiki, as your choice of bootloader is 
to be installed after the base system. The main issue is the conversion 
to systmed, which should occur automatically upon installing base. If 
initscripts is installed on the base system, follow the documentation at
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Systemd
to get a working systemd installation. However, this should not be a 
problem, as systemd-sysvcompat is part of the base package group that 
will be installed from the internet when you run
pacstrap /path/to/mountpoint base
as per the installation guide.

# it's broken in 3.4?

Install linux-lts and configure your bootloader to use the vmlinuz-lts 
and initramfs-lts.img kernel and initial ramdisk. To simplify things, 
you may wish to remove the linux package after installing linux-lts.

# There is also an article explaining how to install Arch from within an
#> existing distro, but it claims to be outdated. Can anyone confirm if it
# doesn't currently work? The URL is:
# https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Install_from_Existing_Linux

You should only need to install and/or build pacman and the arch install 
scripts. From there, the normal installation guide should work with 
little to no trouble. I don't see anything in the article you linked 
that definitely won't work though. It definitely looks good up through 
building and installing pacman and configuring your base chroot. 
Installing arch-install-scripts will certainly make it easier to get the 
base up and running once pacman is installed, as you can just follow the 
standard installation guide once you get arch-install-scripts.
