Editing mirrors list on install[SOLVED]

pottzie · 2013-01-01 00:37:08

It's been a while since I've installed Arch. I'm trying to select which mirrors to use from what's on the installation cd. From what I remember, I used to select a mirror by removing the hash form the line that the mirror was on. Now I see something like:

## Score: etc, then the next line is unhashed, with "Server="

I was putting a hash in front of every 'Server=,' but that seems absurd. Google doesn't give me any help, and since I'm about to leave for a few hours, I'm asking how it's supposed to be done, and I apologize if that information was somewhere in the guide.

You don't need to comment out the other lines, just make sure your preferred mirror is first in the list.

or just use the default mirrorlist during the install period and then edit them afterwards. there is even a simple script that you that updates them for you that is on the mirrors page on the wiki.

Thanks. It was too easy, and I was making it complicated. Installing now.
