Just being curious here, but wouldn't that scenario be exactly the same
as installing Arch from another distro?
Ok, it does take some effort (like downloading the correct static pacman
and using the correct parameters), but other than that....
That being said; it's been a long time since i last installed ArchLinux,
so i may be way off.
Rolling release rocks!
mvg,
