how to create install cd with kernel 2.6.20?

I want to use a program (truecrypt) during my installation but it requires to run on kernel 2.6.20. The installation cd has kernel 2.6.16 which is not compatible. How to create an installation cd with a kernel 2.6.20? The manual says building your own install cd is easy, yet I've no idea what to do. Or maybe there is one waiting to be downloaded and I just don't know where to look?

The recommended installation cd is here: ftp://ftp.archlinux.org/other/0.8/i686/ … 2-i686.iso (or on a mirror near to you)

I forgot to mention that I was a bit reluctant in using the 0.8 since it's still beta. As an arch linux newbie I've no idea how stable betas are here, so I got the 7.2. But when you pose 8.0 as the "recommended"... I sure hope it really is recommended.

Looks like the devs have missed that "recommendation"

@edgg: you might give that iso a shot

beta means install environment beta not the packages itself.
it's really solid and much better than the 0.7.x isos
