Installing Arch without pacstrap is easy. No, you won't use archbootstrap. That is only for chroots. Instead, you will do it hand made.

First, make the file system.

mkdir -m 0755 -p /path/to/root/var/{cache/pacman/pkg,lib/pacman,log} /path/to/root/{dev,run,etc/pacman.d}
mkdir -m 1777 -p /path/to/root/tmp
mkdir -m 0555 -p /path/to/root/{sys,proc}
cp -a /etc/pacman.d/gnupg "/path/to/root/etc/pacman.d/"

	#!/bin/bash

	# a short template for --help and --version

	# Script declaration
	SCRIPTNAME="${0##*[\\/]}"
	SCRIPTVERSION="1.0"

	function apphelp # This will be shown when you run (name) --help.
	{

	#!/bin/bash

	usage () {
	echo "Usage: xbps COMMAND [OPTIONS] [PACKAGES...]"
	echo ""
	echo "A shortcut to xbps commands."
	echo ""
	echo "[-h, --help, help, blank]: Shows this help"
	echo "[-v, --ver, --version, ver, version]: Shows your XBPS version"
	}

	#!/bin/bash
	SPS="prompt >>"
	main () {
	echo $0
	echo $SPS
	read stuff
	$stuff
	}
	for i in {1..1000}
	do
