archlinux pcc install

I'm attempting to install on an iBook G4.  The standard mirror in pacman.conf / mirrorlist is archlinuxppc.org, but the site seems to be fully down.

I've found a mirror, but whenever I run /arch/setup, it seems like the conf and mirrorlist are being reset back to their original values.

Any help?

Server = http://archlinuxppc.mirror.garr.it/mirr … epo/os/ppc

is the mirror, if it helps anyone

Re: archlinux pcc install

got it to work.  The setup script does echo the default core repo into pacman.conf before running. 

nano /arch/setup
ctrl w - search for "Server = "
replaced the archlinuxppc.org url with "http://archlinuxppc.mirror.garr.it/mirr … re/os/ppc/"
re-ran setup, it's now downloading packages.

just thought I'd share if anyone else sees this thread and is running into the same issue.
