Install Arch using mobile broadband.

Hey! Is it possible to install Arch Linux using a mobile broadband? If it is, how do I do it?
I tried to modprobe usbserial but it wasn't found, can I get the module before the installation?

Thanks for reading, Pics.

Re: Install Arch using mobile broadband.

Yes and no.

Yes: ppp is on the installer CD, but nobody seems to know how to work with it. Try this and/or this.

No: wvdial is not on the installer CD.

Workaround: Put wvdial and wvstreams on a USB stick.

There's been some discussion about inclusion of wvdial on the installer: http://mailman.archlinux.org/pipermail/ … 14388.html

I need real, proper pen and paper for this.
