Re: [arch-general] 'base' package install with non-updated linux-kernel

You don't need to install the Linux package. I think generally that's why it was removed from base. You might look into using pacman.conf IgnorePkg to prevent upgrades... But I will try to post on that thread, it may not be an issue with the kernel. So check there shortly On Sat, Oct 19, 2019, 6:53 PM riveravaldez via arch-general < arch-general@archlinux.org> wrote:

Hi,

because of this problem [1] (apparently a kernel/driver/hardware issue?) I'm forced to stay on linux-5.2.14-arch2-1 right now. My question is: should/can I anyway install the 'base' package anyway as explained in [2]?

Thanks a lot
