Can't install from Godane's archiso-livecd

Hi
I've been using godanes great archiso livecd on a thumbdrive foe a while now and i love it. It fits so closely to what i actually want in an install and is still nice and quick.
The problem is though, that I want to be able to install it to an actual hard-drive so that I can really quickly get a working install of Arch on any system.
When I try running the install however, just after the 'Edit Partitions Manually' stage, i get this error message:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/opt/larchin/modules/gtk/guimain.py", line 252, in changed_cb
    mainWindow.setStage(s)
  File "/opt/larchin/modules/gtk/guimain.py", line 161, in setStage
    self.mainWidget = stages[stagename].Widget()
  File "/opt/larchin/modules/stages/swaps.py", line 54, in __init__
    all = install.getAllSwaps()
  File "/opt/larchin/modules/install.py", line 473, in getAllSwaps
    swaps.append((ls[0], float(ls[1]) * 1024 / 1e9))
ValueError: invalid literal for float(): extended

followed by this one:

umount: /tmpfs: not found
umount: /tmpfs/mnt/loop0: not found
umount: /tmp: device is busy.
        (In some cases useful info about processes that use
         the device is found by lsof(8) or fuser(1))
umount: /tmpfs: not found
umount: /tmpfs/mnt/loop0: not found
umount: /tmp: device is busy.
        (In some cases useful info about processes that use
         the device is found by lsof(8) or fuser(1))

and then larchin just bails out.

My question is: is there a way to make larchin work?
If there isn't, is there some other way I can install from the CD(ie. copy all the files and then install grub or something)?

thanks for any help.

"(In some cases useful info about processes that use

At the first sight, it seems you don't have any swap, then all other operations are stopped.
Better you find Godane either here or his website and report your failure.
Good luck
BTW also Chakra is astonishing good

He can report here too, but the answer will be quicklier there, maybe
