Questions during the installation:

1. Q: wget: bad address 'mirror.archlinuxarm.org'
   A: try to use 'adb shell' and type the same command, we should use workable Stericson's busybox wget and change the source path to au.mirror...:
   cd /mnt/sdcard ; mkdir tmp ; cd tmp
   wget http://au.mirror.archlinuxarm.org/armv7h/core/
