 # Arch32iso
 Files to make a lightweight Arch Linux 32 ISO for i686 systems with under 256MB of ram with some QOL tools.
-I've tested it down to 192MB of ram but it *should* be able to run down to 164MB? the FS is like 135MB. so no, it cant even run in 128MB... (i tried... it just dies)

+
+So, using the I486 packages lets you get down to a wimpy 128MB (instead of *needing* 192MB) but its runing on a fairly old kernel version and has... nothing?
+i mean i striped *everything* from the iso like theres no filesystem tools (except ext2) stripped everything. oh and ping? nope! just pray your internet works i guess? or don't. i even stripped out the base package! (its replaced by ~half of its deps) tar? nope. xz? nope. bzip? you wish. theres nothing here... except the *bare minimum* to install, and i truly mean the bare minimum its also *insanely* compressed like i turned on ultra mode with zstd for lvl 22 compressed.
 ## How to run it?
 just run `makeiso.sh` and boom! it does everything for you!
