Hello all!
I remember looking at the installation script about one year ago, and all it had done (to install the base packages), was to use pacman. Now if I try to use the same procedure now (or what I remember from it), I get a lot of errors from the install hooks (script-lets). I've tried to install them once without by disabling scriptlets, and then once more by using them, but the errors are still there.
So my question is: how can I install Arch Linux now, by having only a static built pacman? (I want to use this for an automated installation procedure for virtual machines.) (I think I've tried the procedure on the Wiki page with the same outcome.)
Thanks, Ciprian Craciun.
P.S.: Maybe it's Ok to have those scriptlet errors?
It's easy with: pacman --root=/path/to/my/install -S base You will get scriptlet errors, however. It can't be helped as there's crazy dependency cycles happening. I think it might be safe to just run the above command twice if you really want to make it clean
