Were you trying to install a new system or update an existing one?

I have Arch installed on a few different systems.  The one that gave me
the hardest time was my studio machine, which I was not willing to bring
up from scratch.  Fortunately I found the Arch wiki instructions on updating
to systemd to be clear and straightforward, though I waited some months after
they made the move before I tried it.

The install disc now seems to have fully integrated systemd and it was easy
to bring up a new system.  I used to be a Fedora/CCRMA user, but as the 
newer kernels had realtime stuff roilled into it, the CCRMA kernel became
less necessary and there's plenty of cruft in a Fedora release.  Now F18
seems to have some serious issues with its installation process.
