pacman on nonarch

ok I was wanting to learn more about how a linux os works so... I was going to do a Linux from scratch.

One question:
Can you install pacman  on a different linux os other than arch?

If so, then where could I get it. I don't see it in AUR.

For sure.

See this wiki entry:
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ins … her_distro

Specifically you're looking at the first section, which covers installing pacman.static.

Re: pacman on nonarch

If you are thinking of doing a Linux from Scratch build with pacman, have a look at DIYLinux.  From memory, it is a bit out of date, but it is basically LFS with pacman.
