# Arch Linux
## Tip
Since this is a "net" install and all packages are downloaded, you can
speed up the download of the base packages by getting [Pacman][] to use
a suitable [mirror][].
For example, I modified the definition to make Pacman use Australian and
New Zealand mirrors.

}
})
You can obtain a suitable mirrorlist for yourself using the [Pacman
Mirrorlist Generator][]. The list of countries with mirrors is on that
page too.
Once the base system is installed, the template uses [Reflector][] to
set up Pacman's mirrorlist for the remaining packages. By default, the
arguments passed to Reflector favour up-to-date mirrors sorted by their
download rate. As shown above, you may customize the arguments to your
liking.
## Note
* Reflector is uninstalled by the template following the mirrorlist
generation
* The template currently only supports VirtualBox provider
