[19:32:19] <Vorpal> Hi! Is it possible to pacstrap arch32 onto a HDD or CF card from a 64-bit arch install? The target computer doesn't have USB boot, and I can't find my pile of blank CD-Rs anywhere
[19:32:55] -!- drathir_tor has joined #archlinux32
[19:33:41] <Vorpal> I would *guess* it could be done via the -C flag flr an alternate pacman.conf, but I don't know which one to use.
[19:33:45] <Vorpal> for*

[22:02:08] <bill-auger> Vorpal: -C and -M - set "arch=" to 486, i686, or pentium4 in the pacman.conf, and use the arch32 mirrorlist
[22:03:10] <Vorpal> bill-auger: I tried that after I asked the question, but gpg keeps segfaulting early on
[22:05:24] <bill-auger> that sounds like a bug report worthy bug
[22:05:37] <bill-auger> you could try the -G option
[22:07:05] <KitsuWhooa> wasn't the segfault fixed in the latest ISO?
[22:07:39] <KitsuWhooa> Also, you could just pass through the HDD block device to a qemu VM and just install arch32 to the disk from there
[22:09:51] <Vorpal> KitsuWhooa: I could. I wanted to be lazy though. Oh well.
[22:10:43] <Vorpal> I could just arch-chroot into the ISO (with an overlayfs?) and then pacstrap from there
[22:10:54] <Vorpal> assuming it is not a kernel thing
[22:11:23] <KitsuWhooa> I don't think you can just chroot to another arch
[22:11:58] <bill-auger> you can not chroot into a ISO without evrtacting the squshfs first - that method would be much more work
[22:12:29] <Vorpal> bill-auger: right, but I already mounted the squashfs to extract the pacman.conf when I tried to just pacstrap directly from arch64
[22:12:38] <Vorpal> just a couple of loop mounts
[22:12:55] <Vorpal> but yeah, probably better to go the virtualisation route
[22:13:25] <KitsuWhooa> I really don't think you can chroot without qemu in this case :p
[22:13:33] <KitsuWhooa> but maybe I'm wrong
[22:13:39] <bill-auger> you can chroot into a chroot for another arch
[22:14:13] <Vorpal> KitsuWhooa: as long as the kernel supports 32-bit binaries it *should* work.
[22:14:19] <KitsuWhooa> hm, I see
[22:14:55] <Vorpal> (anyway I have chrooted from arch to ubuntu to fix a broken install and reinstall grub into UEFI and stuff like that)
[22:15:12] <bill-auger> an x86_64 can run the code in an i686 chroot natively - for truly foregin arches, you can use the qemu-user-static service to run its binaries
[22:15:40] <Vorpal> yeah at that point I would not bother with avoiding virtualisation
[22:16:30] <bill-auger> well it is a form of virtualization, but without most of the overhead of a full machine
[22:17:51] <Vorpal> right
[22:18:05] <bill-auger> another option is to boot GRUB from a floppy or CD, then use thatr to boot the LiveISO
[22:20:44] <bill-auger> if the computer has a working OS now, unetbootin would also work, and so would pacman-static
[22:21:03] <bill-auger> if there is a pacman-static for i686?
[22:21:38] <Vorpal> bill-auger: I don't know where my stack of CD-R has gone
[22:21:47] <Vorpal> that was what started this in the first place
[22:21:56] <Vorpal> floppy could work I guess
