Well, nobody said Linux is boring

- well, I did'nt anyway.

This one's for all those Archers out there. So, here's a new install,and you want to update the system before proceeding. Good practice, so you enter

pacman -Syu

in the console (at first, that's all there is), pacman gets a once-over, so you re-issue the upgrade command...and get (after downloading and all)...
