+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 fails to verify
+signatures, create a local /mnt/pacman.conf where you
+set 'SigLevel=Never' and specify '-C /mnt/pacman.conf'.
+
+With less than 96MB RAM mkinitio on tmpfs fails with
+out of disk space, use 'TMPDIR=/var/tmp mkinitcpio -P'
+inside the chroot to create it. With 64MB RAM use
+'gzip' and not 'xz' or 'zstd' as COMPRESSION method.
+
+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.
