In the procedure, the first step, Installation guide#Select the mirrors, can be skipped since the host should already have a correct mirrorlist. The two options are described thereafter. If you already use the /mnt directory for something else, just create another directory such as /mnt/install and use it as the mount point base for the rest of the installation.Īt this stage, Arch Linux can either be installed from scratch or it can mirror the host installation.

In general, it is a good idea to have a local copy of your original /etc directory on your local hard drive. This includes keys from your Apache, your mail servers, your SSH server and others.)

Backup and preparationīackup all your data including mails, webservers, etc. Warning: Please make sure you understand each step before proceeding. If the host system runs another Linux distribution, you will first need to set up an Arch Linux-based chroot.
If the host system runs Arch Linux, this can be achieved by simply installing arch-install-scripts. The goal of the bootstrapping procedure is to setup an environment from which the scripts from arch-install-scripts (such as pacstrap and arch-chroot) can be run.
