Hello Frank, [snip] > If I understand your message correctly, you want to grab the files > somewhere else, because your computer's internet connection is slow? Yes you're exactly right. I 'solved' the problem last night, i use the wrong argument to pacman. Using the -A switch did the trick, not the -S as this one will scour the remote repos. I manage to install the 3 apps but evolution wont start, there are lots of error message spewed out in the console. Gnumeric crashes when i perform a numeric calculation so i didnt bother to test it further. Abiword seems okey though i didnt tested it thoroughly yet. Of course the errors i get from the 2 gnome apps above is a different subject. Thanks for the tips provided. I'll certainly remember to use it as outlined by you. -- Regards, erimendz > > 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".
