It is now in the pacman install, so that point is taken care of. In addition, it would be a bad idea to single out a single mirror as having the elusive title of being first in the list. That poor mirror would get destroyed with requests, so we chose to both leave the ftp.archlinux.org mirror as first and throttle it. -Dan _______________________________________________ arch mailing list [email protected] http://archlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/arch
