installation problem [SOLVED]

the install kernel option is missing from arch linux installation menu, so there's only six options. What could be causing this problem?
ftp://mirrors.portafixe.com/archlinux/iso/latest/ <-- that's the mirror i downloaded from.

There is no install kernel option in the menu.  It's installed like any other package.

Re: installation problem [SOLVED]

There is no "install kernel" option in /arch/setup.  The kernel is installed along with all other packages.

These should be the options in the menu:

 "0" "Select Source" \
        "1" "Set Clock" \
        "2" "Prepare Hard Drive" \
        "3" "Select Packages" \
        "4" "Install Packages" \
        "5" "Configure System" \
        "6" "Install Bootloader" \
        "7" "Exit Install"
