| The last version of Arch Linux that supports 32-bit is |
| [2017.02.01](https://www.archlinux.org/releng/releases/2017.02.01/). Later |
| versions don't work on v86. |
| |
| Installation using QEMU |
| ----------------------- |
| |
| |
| ``` |
| # create a 10 gigabyte disk image |
| qemu-img create arch.img 10G |
| |
| # Follow the normal installation process |
| qemu-system-x86_64 -m 256 -drive file=arch.img,format=raw -cdrom archlinux-2017.02.01-dual.iso |
| ``` |
| |
| For keyboard support it is necessary to open /etc/mkinitcpio.conf and edit the following line: |
| |
| ``` |
| MODULES="atkbd i8042" |
| ``` |
| |
| The resulting `arch.img` is a bootable disk image for v86. |
