It's a wee bit like awaking again an old tractor. you turn the crank and the bulldog runs...
#3 Re: Installation » Survey: On what cpu do you (want to) use archlinux32? » 2018-10-15 11:42:47
this is correct. on the 1. sytem ArchLinux 64 runs on another partition.
#4 Re: Installation » Survey: On what cpu do you (want to) use archlinux32? » 2018-10-14 08:40:08
two systems:
1. Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU T5450 @ 1.66GHz
2. Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.93GHz

!for the first time you need a live-cd because the system must be unmounted! Later you can use the external disk to run fsarchiver. if uuid is used you need to modify the fstab on that disk before update grub or your favorit bootloader.
if this seems complex dont worry all roads lead to Rome 
p.s.
also take a look here:

ok this sounds pretty much fast to me.
its possible to use fsarchiver http://www.fsarchiver.org/quickstart/ to save your entire system partition.
//for example:
fsarchiver savefs -o -v -/sdb1/Fsarchiver/arch-system.fsa /dev/sda2
//where sda2 is the system partition
//to write back the hole partition:
fsarchiver restfs -o -v /sdb1/Fsarchiver/arch-system.fsa id=0,dest=/dev/sda2
/*it needs time and storage with around half the size of the partition to save. but fsarchiver can transfer the system to a different media/partitionttype like a bootable usb device if you want to. so one can create a testsystem for example. you need to change the target device in the restfs session:*/
fsarchiver restfs -o -v /sdb1/Fsarchiver/arch-system.fsa id=0,dest=/dev/sdc1
//then you go into that:
sudo mount /dev/sdc1 /mnt
sudo mount --bind /dev /mnt/dev &&
sudo mount --bind /dev/pts /mnt/dev/pts &&
sudo mount --bind /proc /mnt/proc &&
sudo mount --bind /sys /mnt/sys
sudo chroot /mnt
grub-install --recheck /dev/sdc1
sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
exit &&
sudo umount /mnt/sys &&
sudo umount /mnt/proc &&
sudo umount /mnt/dev/pts &&
sudo umount /mnt/dev &&
sudo umount /mnt
//if Bios accepts booting from that device sdc1 (external hard drive for example) you can test things without touching the original system

anyhow its highly commended to backup the system before update

Thank you very much for you time and effort.

Naturally, always prefer the use of the AUR! I never thougt it's necessary to mention that the use of python-pip and pacman in parallel, or any other source is not normal. You have to watch it and should now what you are doing. Pip itself is in the AUR for a workaround in complex situations when system rescue is priority.
I do not have so much time at the moment so i wich you much success and have a nice day.
#10 Re: Pacman / Pacman Upgrades » Why are incomplete rebuilds pushed to stable (perl, python3.7)? » 2018-09-03 17:44:50
or sudo pip install --upgrade youtube-dl
#11 Re: Pacman / Pacman Upgrades » Why are incomplete rebuilds pushed to stable (perl, python3.7)? » 2018-09-03 16:42:09
one simple way to get apps working with python 3.7.
is to use github. for example youtube-dl:

Excuse me, please!

I am sorry. You are right.

To backup a system is one thing. To learn about it is another. So i'm not afraid of Archlinux 32. I don't worry for all the newbees. This is no bad system, thus they realy learn something. Tala!
Help is necessary and present. But if you want a rolling system without any learning you can use Microsoft's Windows for example. Give them control so you never get problems 
Good luck!
Tommi
P.S.: for a good system it's not the job to protect the user from himself (:)
