[Solved] ArchLinux 64-bit and 32-bit images should be made separate
Most of the users only need one of these images. Making them separate will help save bandwidth. The space taken by separate images will be only marginally more.
I don't want to download a large file everytime I want to install Arch Linux.

How often are you installing Arch Linux, that this should be a problem?

Allan-Volunteer on the (topic being discussed) mailn lists. You never get the people who matters attention on the forums.
jasonwryan-Installing Arch is a measure of your literacy. Maintaining Arch is a measure of your diligence. Contributing to Arch is a measure of your competence.
Griemak-Bleeding edge, not bleeding flat. Edge denotes falls will occur from time to time. Bring your own parachute.

I think the only situation where one reinstall archlinux is a change of machine aka when one change from laptop and not want move the hhd and filesystem type change... or when you mess default seting to the point of break the system but not remember what you touch or where is.
now with no 32bit image I imagine that the default disk now will have more tools or even refit in a CD again.
now, if the issue is solved, OP could add "solved" to the tittle tread?
Well, I suppose that this is somekind of signature, no?
