Pacstrap old kernels?

Hi all.

Is it possible to pacstrap older kernels (lts-4.14 in particular) instead of building them?
I am trying to install on a very old laptop and things move really slow.

Tks.

Re: Pacstrap old kernels?

And you've verified that newer kernels actively break the system or...? FWIW you can always build on a more powerful system and install the resulting package. FWIW from a quick googler it seems that https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Un … rchlinuxcn does carry that, so this could be an option too.
