Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/netbootxyz/netboot.xyz/issues/1027

Describe the bug
Memory deadlock for install Archlinux onto 1G RAM VPS.
VPS is oraclecloud free version. 1G RAM and 50G HDD.

To Reproduce
Simplely steps to install Archlinux. And nearly download finished, it will got a kernel panic for deadlock memory.

Expected behavior
I expect it will download a less than 300MB tarball with bootstarp and install it. But seems it downloads the full size one about 650MB, I'm not sure if it cause the problem.

The usual installer grabs the airootfs.sfs so you are probably running out of memory space. If there's a way to download a smaller version of that, we can look at adding it but otherwise you may need more RAM to do the install.

archlinux.iso
pkglist.txt

This is the minimal self packed archlinux iso I can found. It only contains base packages.

Could you consider add a feature to install dd images?

Or some way could use a bootstrap?

It only contains `base` packages. Could you consider add a feature to install dd images? Or some way could use a bootstrap?

Are the ultralite builds official? Are there docs somewhere for them?

@antonym Actually no. This is a community build.
With Arch wiki method, we can easily build a same one.

Same here for ArchLinux32 (on real hardware).
Tried increasing copytoram_size to 95%, but no luck (info here).
