NAME

6       pacstrap - install packages to the specified new root directory
7

SYNOPSIS

9       pacstrap [options] root [packages...]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       pacstrap is designed to create a new system installation from scratch.
13       The specified packages will be installed into a given directory after
14       setting up some basic mountpoints. By default, the host system’s pacman
15       signing keys and mirrorlist will be used to seed the chroot.
16
17       If no packages are specified to be installed, the base group will be
18       installed.
