pacman -Syu

On all boxes that resulted in about 900M of download and 2.9G of install. It was
~ 364 packages per box. I am currently pulling from all testing repos:

[testing]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
[core]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
[extra]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
[community-testing]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
[community]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
[archlinuxfr]
Server = http://repo.archlinux.fr/x86_64/
