+1 this was the primary reason I wanted a tarball.

The main difficulty is you have to have a parabola machine or a machine with pacstrap in order to install on ARM, rather than a machine with just dd or the like.

As much as I like parabola and hope everyone installs, 'normal' people who use other distros, or use a different distro as their main driver, who wish to install on ARM, perhaps just to test or whatever, may find it easier if they can just copy the contents of an archive to sd and boot.

isnt that just the typical way of doing it? wasnt that exactly how it
was done before the tarball was released? as i understand, the reason
for the tarball was to make it even easier than the chroot install - so
that one could simple dd and boot it
