Archlinux32, i486 ISO for low-memory systems Set 'iommu=off' to regain some memory. Create und mount a swap partition and mount a /tmp to /mnt/tmp as bind mountpoint as very first action before trying to install something with pacstrap/pacman.. With less than 196MB RAM pacman/gpg fail to verify signatures, create a local /mnt/pacman.conf where you set 'SigLevel=Never' and specify '-C /mnt/pacstrap.conf'. With less than 96MB RAM mkinitio on tmpfs fails with out of disk space, use 'TMPDIR=/mytmp mkinitcpio -P' inside the chroot to create it. Consider disabling tmpfs for /tmp on the installed system too 'systemctl mask tmp.mount'. Remember to compile your own static kernel or create a stripped-down ramdisk if you have little memory.
