Как машина планируется к использованию? Какие порты должны быть открыты? IPTABLES индивидуально же настраивается.
Заглянул в вики. Увидел только это:

If you regularly turn off your computer but don't want to miss jobs, there are some solutions available (easiest to hardest):
Vanilla dcron (the default cron daemon in Arch) now supports asynchronous job processing. Just put it with @hourly, @daily, @weekly or @monthy with a jobname, like this:
@hourly         ID=greatest_ever_job      echo This job is very useful
.

А по какому расписанию они будут выполняться? Время старта явно не задается?
я делал так:

iwconfig wlan0 mode master
iwconfig wlan0 essid TaikaNet
ifconfig wlan0 172.16.1.1
привет!

Ребят, можете подсказать, как правильно работают выражения с @?


По указанному пути:
/var/spool/cronstamps/

просмотрел файл
root.sys-daily

обнаружил там только строчку:
1 2011-04-13 19:35

которая, как я полагаю, означает, что последний раз задание запускалось в 19:35 13го апреля. Первый раз сталкиваюсь с таким синтаксисом crontab. Подскажите, плз, как правильно работать с переменными. В man для себя ничего разумительного не обнаружил. Раньше всегда по такому шаблону crontab создавал:

# Example of job definition:
# .------------- minute (0 - 59)
# | .----------- hour (0 - 23)
# | | .--------- day of month (1 - 31)
# | | | .------- month (1 - 12) OR jan,feb,mar,apr ...
# | | | | .----- day of week (0 - 6) (Sunday=0 or 7) OR sun,mon...
# | | | | |
# * * * * * user command to be executed

заранее спасибо.
парадоксально, но повторное создание индексных файлов помогло.
не ясно только почему при обновлении online не возникает подобных конфузов.

тут же получается, что нужно после установки системы выполнить repo-add, потом обновить pacman, обновить его БД, потом опять выполнить repo-add и только после этого удастся обновить систему целиком.
думаю, что требуется повторный запуск процедуры repo-add после обновления БД пакмана.
попробую сейчас выполнить.

И еще, при использовании локального репозитория, если не ошибаюсь, должна быть расскоментирована строка

раскомментировал. ситуация не изменилась.

Читайте же вывод команд
Да я читаю, читаю :)
Но ведь это сообщение подразумевает, что новый пакман скопировал свой pacman.conf как pacman.conf.pacnew, тем самым оставив в системе оригинальный pacman.conf.
Когда я выполняю эту же операцию в online, то данных ошибок нет, и pacman.conf я не трогаю.
