Reminds me of the XKCD “tar” comic.
Edit: tar -xvf archive.tar.gz . maybe?

But then you have to hope you can find a tar file, and that it’s valid, you have enough space on the drive, etc.
Better to just go with
tar --help.If by valid we mean with a 0 return code, then that’s technically true
archinstall script 😎

Trouble is, I did an install - once. Like 8 years ago. Never been a need to do an install since.
I think even through major hardware upgrades I just moved or rsync’d the filesystems and adjusted fstab as necessary.
Has the procedure changed? Not that I remember it anyway.
tar xzf base-install-thingy.tar.gz to / and edit mirrorlist? Then just the generic Linux things like edit fstab, add a user with sudo privs, grub install. Nah, I’d have to at least read --help docs of these various tools.

There’s a script called archinstall or whatever that comes by default with the images now. Find that and you’re gold.
What if you replace Arch with Gentoo? 🤭
