Most notable change is that AIF (the Arch Installation Framework) is no longer included but instead some simple install scripts are provided to aid in the installation process. This means a menu driven installer is no longer available and we rely more on documentation to guide new users. We would like to encourage our community to fill in the remaining gaps in our wiki. From now on our install images are signed and it is highly recommend to verify their signat (Distributions)

Hello Arch Linux community,After usage of Ubuntu, I decided to move to Arch Linux because of its highly-customizable and flexible operating system. To learn first the installation process, I created a virtual OS in Oracle VM VirtualBox. The installation went well till I encountered the network configuration step.
