archstrap
A stupid simple BASH script to bootstrap a minimal Arch Linux installer environment from other Linux distributions. Essentially archstrap will create a base Arch Linux system with working pacman, archstrap, genfstab, etc, at specifed mountpoint. archstrap makes installing Arch Linux from any Linux distribution easy; After archstrap execution, simply follow the ArchWiki installation guide starting at disk partitioning

archstrap /tmpoptionally supply --buildfs as the last paremeter to build just the rootfs, without mounting

archstrap must be executed as superuser and a mountpoint must be specified to create the environment
archstrap verifies the gpg signature of the global mirror it uses. keys may need to be manually received as superuser
