Zipit Z2 and Arch Linux Arm.

[ignatius333]

Hello,

I am the proud owner of a Zipit Z2,and I recently swapped out Z2Ubuntu for Arch Linux ARM...
Things look good, except I cannot use pacman

Here's my /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

Now, when I do a pacman Syu I get this:


[root@catch22bbs pacman.d]# pacman -Syu

Anyone know where I can get a _working_ mirrorlist?

Thank you.

Not sure why it's displaying all of that garbage. Sorry, folks.

UPDATE: This was a chrooted session. I am now booting it directly from the Zipt Z2, and am now getting errors like these:

```
error: failed retrieving file 'core.db' from mirror.archlinuxarm.org: Resolving timed out after 10543 milliseconds.
error: failed to update core (download library error)
So, i'm not sure if I need a new entry in /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist?
```
About a dozen times.

So, i'm not sure if I need a new entry in /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist?

And let me say this system is of the Armel architecture.
