[WARNING]

Using `pacman -Sy` should be sufficient, in order to be able to search for packages from within the `archiso`, without upgrading the system, but might break your system, if you use this command on an existing installation!
|

|

To be on the safe side, it is advised to always use `pacman -Syu` instead!

`pacstrap` uses the latest packages anyways.
