ARCH Linux on PI2B/3B

How I setup ARCH Linux on my RPi2 & RPi3.

Why

You might be asking; In 2023 why maintain these resource constrained devices? Answer; They're good enough for data collection and reporting.

1. Prometheus; Anything with an exporter gets routed to these devices for collection.
2. Grafan; Because what's the point of collecting data if you can't visualize it?
3. Dabble in other things.

Getting started

This is just an outline of steps. There are a few ways to perform the first step and everyone has their preferred way. The seconds step is performed by PINN , leaving little of consequence for the user to setup.

1. Install PINN on the SD card.
2. Install ARCH from the PINN UI onto the USB drive.
3. Reboot
4. Enjoy
