i just searched over internet again and again and found very few group/people maintaining archlive cd personally without benefits involves but due to their intrerests, as i learnt arch is a very popular distro nowadays, why did not arch linux offical try to learn and release an optional image/distribution for arch live cd to save some parts of user's time, esp i meant for newbies? as i can foresee many geeks may be object to my opinion, but i think this is a workable way for newbie to get better understanding for arch linux.
why did ubuntu so much fast recently? i think there must be some things arch could learn from. well, this is just a piece of suggestion.

The install CD is a live CD... It give a fairly accurate impression of what you get once you install Arch.

Arch is not really for newbies. sorry. You better stick with Ubuntu.

How can Arch be LiveCD if it contains nothing? And if you want have someting when LiveCD is booted - why not look for something else? Like SystemRescueCD. Arch's idea does not suit for LiveCD in my opinion.

a LiveCD means that you have a linux environment running from a cd.
Since when a LiveCD imply running a graphical interface?
Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.

Your crystal ball seems right on that point. I think there are some things you could learn from Arch. Well, this is just a piece of suggestion

wonder, I wasn't really talking about GUI. It was more about different tools that you may need on a LiveCD. Otherwise why do you want to run a LiveCD if it contains almost nothing to fix your problems. That's why SystemRescueCD is good - you don't need to run X there at all and you get a lot of emergency tools in CLI (yet in GUI if you feel like it).

The Arch install CD has pacman and chroot. That is enough to solve most problems.

But what does rescuing your system has to do with Arch?? Unless you fscked your Arch system, that is - than do as Allan suggested.

the arch live cd contains a lot of rescue tools, it has severals partitioning apps, all the filesystem tools, you can install any package from the repos.
what do you need more?
