Just didn't detect wireless with kernel 2.6.32, but that's solved after updating. Are you using 2.6.32 on the isos? I suppose you don't want to change this, but I think there are more devices than just the asus 1005HA using this wireless chip, and it really doesn't work with 2.6.32. This could be a pain for some people.

Gnome MPlayer is not dependent on any Gnome libraries. However. the look and feel of the application is based on the Gnome HIG. The main dependency is on GTK2, GLIB2 and DBUS. - straight off the gnome-mplayer website.

[arch-general] final final testing images
Okay guys, props to Thomas for finding out the problem with the initialization of wireless cards. I built new images, dated 2010.05.16 (aka final final images ;)) in which this should be fixed, and which also come with updated core packages, most notably kernel26-2.6.33.4-1 http://build.archlinux.org/isos/ thanks to everyone who tested the 2010.05.13 (or earlier) images. i received confirmation for 4 images with which a boot+installation went fine. for netinstall-dual.iso I only reiceved confirmation that it boots fine (but that's enough, given the other tested images). However i got no feedback for the core-x86_64 image. So right now, these two things are needed: * confirmation that archlinux-2010.05.16-core-x86_64.iso boots fine. * confirmation that wireless cards are properly initialised now. cheers, and stay tuned for a release soonish :) Dieter

I intend to try it out on my physical system using unetbootin, but if you want it from CD I can just fire up VBox. Which would you prefer? Physical means I should be able to test wifi as well.
