pacstrap

Arch Linux install script to install packages to the specified new root directory.

• Install the `base` package, Linux kernel and firmware for common hardware:

pacstrap {path/to/new/root} {base} {linux} {linux-firmware}

• Install the `base` package, Linux LTS kernel and `base-devel` build tools:

pacstrap {path/to/new/root} {base} {base-devel} {linux-lts}

• Install packages without copy the host's mirrorlist to the target:

pacstrap -M {path/to/new/root} {packages}

• Use an alternate configuration file for Pacman:

pacstrap -C {path/to/pacman.conf} {path/to/new/root} {packages}

• Install packages using the package cache on the host instead of on the target:

pacstrap -c {path/to/new/root} {packages}

• Install packages without copy the host's pacman keyring to the target:

pacstrap -G {path/to/new/root} {packages}

• Install packages in interactive mode (prompts for confirmation):

pacstrap -i {path/to/new/root} {packages}

• Install packages using package files:

pacstrap -U {path/to/new/root} {path/to/package1} {path/to/package2}
