====== Install an ArchLinux system ======

ArchLinux have non official support of ARM architecture. Documentation are available on archlinuxarm.org.

===== Boot with an initramfs =====

To proceed to the ArchLinux intall you need a shell on your NAS. One way to achieve this is to boot on an initramfs. 
  * To build your own Initramfs you'll find some documentation on the dedicated page : [[buildaninitramfs|Build An initramfs]].
  * Once you succefully build your initramfs, use [[clunc|clunc]] to boot on it.

Your initramfs will need to include an fdisk tool to edit partition and an mkfs tool ( with the support of the fs of your choice ) to create filesystem.

===== Installation =====

A base system tarball can be downloaded and install :

  wget http://archlinuxarm.org/os/ArchLinuxARM-armv5te-latest.tar.gz
  tar xzvf ArchLinuxARM-armv5te-*.tar.gz
