Arch install Scripts
Am I correct in assuming that if you download the Arch install scripts to your local machine (that's currently running arch), the process of installing arch onto another hard drive is exactly the same?

Re: Arch install Scripts
Try https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/In … ting_Linux and see if it answers your question. The process is similar, but there are a few differences.

That was the second place I checked all i found was:
The goal of the bootstrapping procedure is to setup an environment from which arch-install-scripts (such as pacstrap and arch-root) run. This goal is achieved by installing arch-install-scripts natively on the host system, or setting up an Arch Linux-based chroot.
If the host system runs Arch Linux, installing arch-install-scripts is straightforward.
Which seems to say it is the same, but it comes across as pretty vague imo.

Re: Arch install Scripts
The install scripts are using pacman, therefore arch installed systems use it straightforward.
Previous version of that wiki was guiding to download pacman and prepare the partitions to load the packages. Which still possible again.
do it good first, it will be faster than do it twice the saint
