Re: [arch-general] Long-term offline Arch system

- read the homepage news - check the bugtracker (and forums if I'm not in a hurry) for major kernel ("[linux] ...") issues and other still active bugs from that timeframe, especially those with a high priority and a large number of votes/comments - run my backup script - run pacman -Syu - merge all *.pacnew files right away

Pretty much. I've had a system collecting dust for over a year (I was off in a different country) and I managed to update without any problems by doing the above, so worry not. For a more fool-proof thing, it's always possible to make a staged-update script working from the Archive. -- Serge Hooge () ascii ribbon campaign - against HTML e-mail /\ - against proprietary attachments
