OK, but how will you get a clean chroot to begin with? If not with pacman -r, how?
Explanation: For your chroot to work properly, you need virtual filesystems such as /proc to be mounted in it; the devtools script takes care of that.
Absolutelly. That's how I installed Arch, BTW, I did it via ssh so burning a CD was not an option... I just didn't know there was a script for that. Anyway, I wanted some explanation about the rationale, as opposed to using a script blindly. As I said, I'm not good with Bash (I use Perl when I need to cook up some script for my own use) and reading the source gives me some idea but there are loose ends... Jorge
