trying to install archlinux32 using 'archlinux32-2023.03.02-i686.iso'
Overcame all the key-issues following the advices given on the download-page.
Then at:
root@archiso ~ # archinstall
was able to enter my options into the menu, OK, but the installation-option stopped, giving me an error message containing something like:
'AttributeError: 'NoneType' has no attribute 'partitions'
Then updated the installer:
root@archiso ~ # pacman -S archinstall
tried again, but now archinstall stopped imedeately giving me:
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'archinstall'
For installation I much prefer using 'archinstall', which knows much better how to do all the configuration than I do.
Waiting for a more up-to-date iso...

Was an effort for me to get Arch32 on the disk, not having a working Archinstall:
For partitioning I followed the original archinstall-proposal: root-partition plus small (200M) boot-partition and nothing else.
Didn't opt for swap-space, may be I should have?, my machine is a 2GB Samsung laptop from Old-WinXP days
For installation I mostly followed these guidelines:
https://wiki.archlinux.de/title/2._Inst … undsystems
In my case:
pacstrap /mnt base linux linux-firmware dhcpcd nano
Instead of chroot the guide uses arch-chroot, which seems to simplify volume-manipulation (mounting/unmounting...)
For booting tried Grub, but Grub identified my ext4-filesystem as ext2 and refused to continue
So I switched to syslinux, which might be a better choise anyway
For grafics installed all I could remember: xf86-video-vesa, -intel, -fbdev, -nouveau, -ati and grafics is working OK
But no sound, got sound by installing pulseaudio and pulseaudio-alsa on top of ALSA
Browser - currently using Gnome Web
Tried Firefox, quite heavy, kills my machine
Tried Dillo, Netsurf, both small, but no Javascript
Then tried Surf - Surf is tiny and very special, it runs from the command-line, supports Javascript, I got it working, but only on Arch64
Would like to get Surf on Arch32, don't know, if that is possible
