None here.  I will ask on the Arch mailing list or on the message 
boards, though.  I didn't download Archie myself because I already knew 
I wanted to try Arch, so I was just presuming the live CD was still 
available.  It sure looks like it is judging from the website.  But I 
apologize in advance if I've inadvertently led you down the garden path.

I'll see if I can find anything out ... maybe someone else more informed 
will reply here in the meantime.
