Archlinux on Ras Pi help

[paulstung]

thanks for all your help mate, I'm going to have a break for tonight and pick it up tomorrow. I'll leave the Pi switched on so I won't have to start from scratch again.

Tried that I'm getting the message gzip: sakis3d.tar.gz: not in gzip format

Huh, I think there might be a difference in the archive format between the two archives
the different servers provide.

If you have the program tar available you could also try this (I have tried it
on my machine and this does work for me):

After the wget line, instead of continuing with gunzip, enter

[root@alarmpi ~]# tar -xf sakis3g.tar.gz

This does unpack the sakis3g.tar.gz archive and leaves me with a file named
sakis3g in my directory.

From then on:

[root@alarmpi ~]# chmod +x sakis3g
[root@alarmpi ~]# mv sakis3g /usr/local/sbin/.
[root@alarmpi ~]# cat /etc/sakis3g.conf

If you still have trouble unpacking the archive I've unpacked it and uploaded it to
my server. If you want to go that route, use:

[root@alarmpi ~]# pacman -S ppp
[root@alarmpi ~]# wget -O sakis3g "http://www.alpenwasser.net/repository/files/sakis3g"
[root@alarmpi ~]# chmod +x sakis3g
[root@alarmpi ~]# mv sakis3g /usr/local/sbin/.
[root@alarmpi ~]# cat /etc/sakis3g.conf

thanks for all your help mate, I'm going to have a break for tonight and pick it up tomorrow. I'll leave the Pi switched on so I won't have to start from scratch again.

No problem dude, I sort of enjoy these things (not the fact that it's not working for
you, just the figuring it out part ), so just check back when you need more help.
