IMHO this is not needed _now_ (but should be done when
mkinitrd->mkinitcpio switch was done), because 0.8 is coming.
Better solution (IMHO) was to just release 0.7.3 with 2.6.18 kernel
and mkinitcpio, so that installing Arch would become much easier for
newbies, but that has no matter now because of tpowa's ISOs and 0.8
waiting, however many newbies just don't know about tpowa's ISOs.
