Reduce dependencies to closest POSIX or busybox set available about arch-bootstrap HOT 3 CLOSED

Sorry for the delay, I am getting no notifications for issues, I'll check that. I'd be happy to apply your pull request in the script to make it compatible with busybox if the required changes are not cumbersome.

Not a problem on the delay, I understand how such things can happen.

I've recently learned that the Arch team apparently provides bootstrap tarballs that one can simply untar and have a ready-made system. Go to any mirror, then poke around in the iso directory looking for the string bootstrap. This removes my need for a more portable version of your archbootstrap, as if I'm limited only to busybox I can still wget and untar the bootstrap tarballs. If nothing else, I can chroot into those environments and then use the bash et al provided there to call your script. Hence, I'm closing this issue.

Nonetheless, I've found your project here extremely useful - thanks!.

@paradigm I has no idea this "bootstrap" tarballs existed, thanks for the reference.
