Hello everybody!

I finally build an iso (patching archiso to do it) and I can
successfully reboot into it.

The next work is aif. If someone know it a bit (I need to replace some
x86 programs, like sfdisk for partitions, and hwclock for date..) he
could help... I'm thinking to use old installer, modifying only kernel
section, in this release, hoping in 1-2 months to get aif up & running
and release a new live cd.

Excuse me for poor english, I'm writing on a 5-minute coffee-pause.
Thank you!

Thanks Dan.

Dumb question I posted in IRC last night... Looks like ca-certificates is broken when I do the base install. Complains about headers not matching locale.

If that can be fixed, i can successfully install and help you guys out with stuff :-)

David,
Do you have testing enabled? If so, please double-check the locales you
are using, possibly enabling another one from /etc/locale.gen (and
running locale-gen as root afterwards).
I encountered this issue when making a new chroot (via mkarchroot), so
editing the LOCALE setting temporarily did the trick.
Unfortunately this is an issue from x86 so most probably it's going to
be solved in the near future.
I'm enr1x on IRC, you can msg me there, but maybe i'm out.
Cheers,

You can enable testing in the install cd? Sweet!

In the new LiveCD, I've enabled by default en_US.utf8 LANG. When
installing, you need to do a little hack (explained in some post above
mine).

Here, as I talked, the major problem where with AIF.

Hello everyone,
There's a new version of ca-certificates in [testing] which I hope is
going to resolve the issues when installing everyone had.
This is the package name: ca-certificates-20120212-1.1-any.pkg.tar.xz.
You can reach me at #archlinuxppc in Freenode should you have problems.
Make sure you enable the testing repo before using this.
Cheers,

Hey Dan!

First of all, this is awesome news! I'd be happy to help wipe the x86
specific problems with you.

hwclock)
This program works on all platforms via RTC drivers. If
generic rtc support is enable in the kernel, all is fine.

sfdisk)
If I remember correctly, mac-fdisk can support the same
syntax as sfdisk. Yet of course we need to enable AIF to
add a mac partition table, bootstrap etc.

I'm gonna give the image a go tonight.

Cheers,
