Re: keep getting fstrim.timer error?

There's an issue about it here plus some tips how to get around it for now: https://github.com/archlinux/archinstall/issues/3800

The alternative would be to use an older state for installation via Arch Linux Archive (e.g. repos/2025/09/01) since the error seems to have appeared after a recent archlinux update.

When the installation is complete, you could then switch back to a regular mirror and update archlinux normally.

edit: scimmia was faster and it looks like it's already fixed, neat :-)
