install RSYNC (archlinux)
October 06, 2014 02:06PM
Today I tried this several times while the Pibox was connected by cable. And that was after the stupid mistake to try this while it worked as the PirateBox and then it has of course no internet connection....Although the viewable information in really not very clear about that.
Please advise how to install Rsync on the archlinux PirateBox.

Dear Matthias,
Thank you for your answer that pointed me in the right direction.

But I have to say I definitely needed a cable connection with my router to install rsync.
Below is the output in the terminal. The first part, before the ======= is without cable connection. The second part is with a cable connected.
