Hi all
I was reading a post earlier and it mentioned updating the mirror list at http://www.archlinux.org/mirrorlist/. I generated the list okay, but can someone enlighten me as to what to do with it please?
Thanks
Rich

why, pick the nearest active mirror and uncomment that in your /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist file, of course.
Then
pacman -Syyu
There's no such thing as a stupid question, but there sure are a lot of inquisitive idiots !

Use it as your mirrorlist in pacman.conf; either remove
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
and put the new mirrorlist in its place or just point pacman to the new mirrorlist e.g.
Include = /etc/pacman.d/new_mirrorlist

You could eat it...
Seriously, copy that newly generated list to either a temp text file or directly into the /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist file itself. This also assumes you'll delete the current contents of the mirrorlist file before pasting your new list into it.
After that, just do your pacman -Syu to get the new packages.

Thanks for the help. I thought it must be pretty simple to do but thought it was best to make sure.
