If I understand your message correctly, you want to grab the files somewhere else, because your computer's internet connection is slow? I had the same situation and what I did was the following: Updating the package lists with "pacman -Sy" should be ok even for a slow connection. Then do: # "pacman -Sup > download_list.txt" which will print you all URLs of packages which have to be downloaded to the file "download_list.txt". Take this file to the computer with the fast connection and then do # "wget -N -i download_list.txt" This will download all packages and then you can take them home. At home, put them in /var/cache/pacman/pkg and do a "pacman -Su" and Pacman won't need to download any files anymore. (Unless you did a "pacman -Sy" meanwhile) Frank __________________________________________________________ Mit WEB.DE FreePhone mit hoechster Qualitaet ab 0 Ct./Min. weltweit telefonieren! http://freephone.web.de/?mc=021201 _______________________________________________ arch mailing list [email protected] http://www.archlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/arch
