archiso - create 32 bit iso on a 64 bit OS?

Hi,

Is it possible to use archiso on a 64 bit installation to create a 32 bit iso to burn to CD?

Thanks

Good luck!

I was using these instructions https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Archiso to build a custom live CD, not installation media; sorry that I did not make this clear. Is there a way to do it with this?

Thanks

There are no differences. Use linux32. I always recommend creating clean chroot to do things, in your case is a necessary condition.

In resume:

pacman -S devtools --needed
linux32 mkarchroot /tmp/somedir base
linux32 mkarchroot -r bash /tmp/somedir

Then follow the wiki as you want.
