Unusable Installation; Nano is not included in JuNest, impossible to change mirrorlist #267

Closed kz-n closed 3 years ago

kz-n commented 3 years ago

I misclicked and sent this issue before i finished it.

I just installed JuNest, Cloning the master branch. As the instructions say, I tried to change my mirrorlist, I cannot seem to have any editing software (That I know of) installed to perform this operation.

One way is to use echo and redirect to the mirrorlist file.

echo 'https://...' >> /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

Alternatively, you could update from the host OS itself if it contains an editor.

The main objective for JuNest is to contain the minimum set of packages that's why an editor is not available at the beginning.

Please update the instructions to follow this.

Ok, I will revisit the message at some point. Reopening the issue.

changed message: 

Default mirror URL set to: https://mirror.rackspace.com/archlinux/$repo/os/$arch
You can change the pacman mirror URL in /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist according to your location:
    $EDITOR /home/travis/.junest/etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
