Managed to get Arch Linux 0.1 and XFree86 working

Hello! For a while, I was trying to get Arch Linux 0.1 working. It is a very complicated process trying to get it installed.
Though from what I remember, Arch itself wasn't too hard to install, but X11 is hard to configure since it was using XFree86 rather than Xorg.
This video will show a demonstration of it working (https://youtu.be/_wUteCT6_yQ). Though the resolution is pretty small.

UPDATE
-----------------
I just made a guide on how you can install Arch Linux 0.1 with XFree86 on your VM/machine

I'm interested in if pacman is available and if so, is it writing to log?

What's the output of the first few lines in pacman's log?

head -3 /var/log/pacman.log

Or where ever pacman may have been logging.

It seems like from my knowledge, there seems to be no logging in pacman in this version

Two beverage credits at the taco bar if you can update it to a modern installation without having to reinstall.

Hmm, I can figure out a way to do that, though it could be way harder because how much pacman changed
