Is there anything similar to debootstrap for Arch? Debootstrap basically a command where you give it some options and point it to a partition and it installs Debian (or a Debian-based distro) onto it.
You can install packages under a particular directroy using the command pacman -S pkgname -r /gateway/to/hell So using that you can actually build a chrooted environment and work your way up. Somethign like $ pacman -S base -r /gateway/to/hell $ mount -t proc /gateway/to/hell/proc ... ... $ chroot bash /gateway/to/hell $ complete the installation there. should work. Regards ppk
