Thank you for sharing @WMCB-Tech; FILE knownconfigurations.bash: KEEP=1 ## change to 0 to keep downloaded image; Testing the installation process repeatedly can be made easier and lighter on your Internet bandwith and SAR with this fragment of code 'mkdir ~/arch; cp ~/ArchLinux*.tar.gz* ~/arch/'. The variable KEEP when changed to 0 will keep the downloaded image and md5 files instead of deleting them for later reuse if desired. The root file system image and md5 files can be saved and used again on subsequent installs when testing the install feature with this and similar fragments of code. Enjoy!

Thank you for sharing @WMCB-Tech:

FILE knownconfigurations.bash || COMMAND setupTermuxArch manual:

  1. KEEP=1 ## change to 0 to keep downloaded image; Testing the installation process repeatedly can be made easier and lighter on your Internet bandwith and SAR with this fragment of code 'mkdir ~/arch; cp ~/ArchLinux*.tar.gz* ~/arch/'. The variable KEEP when changed to 0 will keep the downloaded image and md5 files instead of deleting them for later reuse if desired. The root file system image and md5 files can be saved and used again on subsequent installs when testing the install feature with this and similar fragments of code.

COMMAND setupTermuxArch h:

  1. [./path/systemimage.tar.gz [customdir]] Install directory argument is optional. Network install can be substituted by copying systemimage.tar.gz and systemimage.tar.gz.md5 files with 'setupTermuxArch ./[path/]systemimage.tar.gz' and 'setupTermuxArch /absolutepath/systemimage.tar.gz'.
  2. [systemimage.tar.gz [customdir]] Install directory argument is optional. Network install can be substituted by copying systemimage.tar.gz and systemimage.tar.gz.md5 files with 'setupTermuxArch systemimage.tar.gz'.

Enjoy!
