You can install packages under a particular directroy using the command pacman -S pkgname -r /gateway/to/hell So using that you can actually build a chrooted environment and work your way up. Somethign like $ pacman -S base -r /gateway/to/hell $ mount -t proc /gateway/to/hell/proc ... ... $ chroot bash /gateway/to/hell $ complete the installation there. should work. Regards ppk
