mirrorlist deleted

Hey. So I installed Arch, following the beginners and have got up to the part in which you use rankmirrors. Anyway, some how my mirrorlist is now blank, there are no mirrors in there. Will I have to enter them manually? If so, is there a default mirror list I can use to enter the mirrors?

Cheers.

wget http://repos.archlinux.org/wsvn/package … core-i686/ should do it. It saves it in $HOME.

Re: mirrorlist deleted

It should be in pacman's cache. Try this as root:

For i686:

pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/pacman-mirrorlist-20100131-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz

For x86_64:

pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/pacman-mirrorlist-20100131-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz

Re: mirrorlist deleted

Check at the VERY bottom of the mirrorlist file. For the longest time I thought they were deleted. They should be uncommented.
