Hello,
I installed Arch on vmware fusion, with the attempt of setting up a system with my customized services ( ssh, ftp, among others ), and in the process of such learning about the distro.
In the end, I will like that once I am comfortable with my Arch setup in the virtual machine, that I could replicate the same into a real physical machine.
So, my question will be whether the Live CD create options available for Arch will allow me to do so, and if there may be any limitations since I will create the system "template" in a virtual machine.
Is there any recommended Live installer creator? Should I worry about virtual and physical hardware differences in specs/sizes, etc?
Thanks,

you should be able to dd the virtual blockdevice to a physical one, and increase the size of the last partition and filesystem to completely fill the disk.
then rebuild the initcpio.
if you have lvm, it's easier of course.
you can also make filesystems on the physical hardware, install grub in there, and rsync everything
