Installing arch linux with netboot

I lost my usb drive, and I only have 600 mb CD.
I can't fit arch iso in there, but I found out about Netboot

I successfully run it,
But the problem now is that I don't have a wired connection, so it doesn't do anything.

I tried using android USB tethering but it doesn't work.

Is there any way to use USB tethering to run arch from netboot?
Or is there any alternative solution to install arch ?

Re: Installing arch linux with netboot

You can always create a customized ISO to fit onto a 600 MB CDROM with archiso.
You should include iwd / wpa_supplicant to be able to establish a wireless connection, maybe even networkmanager.
Just leave out stuff, which you don't need to keep the size as small as necessary.
