The installer does not create /etc

Trying to install Arch but the installer won't create any /etc folder on the mount... (/mnt/etc). So when I get to the point where I'm supposed to edit all the settings, none of the files exist...

Anyone have a solution?

Re: The installer does not create /etc

I'm not sure if this has anything to do with your problem but I had a similar issue when installing arch on a laptop for a friend. I was using Archlinux-i686-2007.08-2.ftp.iso and all the conf files were empty. I tried installing three or four times and always the same thing. Then I downloaded and used Archlinux-i686-2008.03-1-archboot.ftp.iso and everything installed fine.

Re: The installer does not create /etc

i also had this problem when trying to do an ftp install from the latest 2007 iso on the main page.

Maybe someone should put a note about installing on the homepage?
