Is there something available out there that makes it easy to create an Arch chroot on a non-Arch system, e.g. Ubuntu or Fedora?

Theoretically, you just need to compile pacman and then you can continue as if you were making an Arch chroot from an Arch system. I can't think of anything easier :)

Then you need to work on your imagination a bit ;) (just kidding) No one who's already had to do this and produced a script that automates it? /M -- Magnus Therning OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4 email: magnus@therning.org jabber: magnus@therning.org twitter: magthe http://therning.org/magnus I invented the term Object-Oriented, and I can tell you I did not have C++ in mind. -- Alan Kay

There is only 1 requirement: * pacman You can build pacman on your distribution, or use a prebuilt statically-linked pacman. pacman.static is no longer provided, so get ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/larch/larch8/i686/pacman-allin.tar.gz -- GPG/PGP ID: 8AADBB10
