# Archbootstrap

arch-bootstrap.sh is a Bash script that creates a minimum Arch Linux system where you can chroot to. Bootstrapping for other architectures then the host architecture requires static compiled QEMU binaries registered in Linux binfmt_misc. Report bugs here.

## Installing Arch

Some examples:

- Using default architecture (i686) and repository:

    # bash arch-bootstrap.sh target

- Bootstrap a x86_64 system using a specific repository:

    # bash arch-bootstrap.sh -a x86_64 -r "ftp://ftp.archlinux.org" target
