[arch-general] archlinux install failed
I was using the material on the archlinux wiki page in arch-linux for the blind and ran into an error. Instruction 5 started the problem in which alsa-utils and espeakup and speakup get copied to the machine. I was told no updates were done and that no servers were configured for pacman when I tried to do that instruction. The thing is, that instruction is in my braille notes from quite a while ago exactly as it appears in the wiki and at the time I installed archlinux using those notes no such problem happened. Has something changed with the remote repos I should know about or is something else going on? ---------------------------------------------------------------- Jude <jdashiel-at-shellworld-dot-net> <http://www.shellworld.net/~jdashiel/nj.html>
It appears you have to setup your preferred mirror in /etc/pacman.conf. You must edit the file /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist and uncomment a mirror that is located in your country, or nearby. You can uncomment multiple lines, for redundancy, and move them around, for performance. -- Sébastien Leblanc
The original problem happened after a server was selected up in step 1 of the /arch/setup program and it happened after several megs of files including the kernel had already been downloaded. On Sun, 3 Jun 2012, S?bastien Leblanc wrote:
