If my Arch Chromebook runs out of battery... Arch Recovery Disk...

Dear ArchFolks,

I've just successfully installed Arch on my very old Acer Chromebook 11 CB3-111, replacing a no more supported GalliumOs distro.

As suggested by an online guide, I made an USB recovery disk which can make rebirth a Chromebook run out of battery, consequently with no more memory about the partition addresses and how to boot.

Unfortunately I cannot find that online guide and I have no idea ho to adapt all those scripts to recreate the usb recovery key for Arch if the batteries die.

Could someone help me?

Thanks in advance and Happy Easter (in progress) and Easter Monday!

Greetings from Italy, bye!

It's been ages since I looked at Gallium.  I think it was taking you through the steps to make an ISO for recovery if that'd ever be needed.

Essentially you have that with your Arch ISO that you used to install the OS.  Just understand the Arch chroot process to boot off of the ISO USB and mount your disk.
