ALL: Thank you! I had seen the blog post, but not really absorbed the gist of it. ONE LITTLE THING: My attempt to do the $ */pacman --needed -S bash pacman pacman-mirrors msys2-runtime/* step as shown failed. I needed to do it thus: $ for Pkg in "pacman-mirrors" "msys2-runtime" "bash" "pacman"; do > pacman --needed -S $Pkg > done Everything is fine now.
