Arch Linux Dialup
My first useful post and the first from emacs.
Coming up to christmas I, decided that a change in distro was in
order. Arch Linux sounded right up my alley, but unfortuntley I was
stuck on a dialup internet connection at the time, and the Arch Linux
installer doesnt include pppconfig. Of course I didnt think of this
until I had fdisked my old Gentoo partition. This left my in a bit of a
predicument. Do I wait a few days and borrow a mates broadband
connection, (yeah right) or try hack up the pkgbuild to install from a
locally downloaded package (downloaded on different computer). That
worked but the syntax was a bit odd it still thought it needed to be on
the web. So I thought I would share the compiled packages for anyone in
a similar situtation. These can be installed simply by pacman -U
<pkgname>
Unfortunaley I can’t upload the packages, leave me a comment and I will
email them or something.
