# arch-bootstrap: Bootstrap a base Arch Linux system using any GNU distribution.
#
# Dependencies: bash >= 4, coreutils, curl, sed, gawk, tar, gzip, chroot, xz, zstd.
# Project: https://github.com/tokland/arch-bootstrap
#
# Install:

#   # install -m 755 arch-bootstrap.sh /usr/local/bin/arch-bootstrap
#
# Usage:
#
#   # arch-bootstrap destination
#   # arch-bootstrap -a x86_64 -r ftp://ftp.archlinux.org destination-64
#
# And then you can chroot to the destination directory (user: root, password: root):
