+DigitalOcean Debian to Arch
+===========================
+DigitalOcean deprecated Arch Linux a while back because it was relatively
+difficult to support due to the rolling updates. I wrote this script to
+bring it back! This script downloads all the packages necessary for a base
+Arch Linux VPS, extracts them, configures them, and installs the fully
+configured system on the root of the filesystem. This script also configures
+the system to run *kexec* on startup to ensure that the latest installed
+kernel version is running.
+
+Warning
+-------
+This script may cause your VPS to become unbootable. I only recommend
+running this script on newly created droplets with no important data.
+
+Installation
+------------
+1. Create a new Debian 7.0 x64 droplet.
+2. In the droplet (either SSH or console access works),
+   run the following as root:
+    ```wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gh2o/digitalocean-debian-to-arch/master/install.sh && bash install.sh```
+3. Answer the questions as prompted.
+    * If the script asks to remove a failed installation,
+      there is a failed installation at `/archroot` that is
+      unlikely to contain important data. It is safe and
+      recommended to answer **yes** here.
+    * Because the random number generator, required to
+      generate keys for pacman, is painstakingly slow,
+      the script will offer to install the package `haveged`
+      which will speed it up. Again it is recommended to
+      answer **yes** here.
+4. Sit back and relax! The system will automatically reboot once complete,
+   and you should have a fully updated Arch Linux system in within minutes.
+5. You will be able to log in with your original root password. The replaced
+   Debian files are located in `/oldroot`, which may be safely deleted to
+   free up space.
