No, it's commented out (at least that's what I meant to do)

I've found Colonist, but did not find any documentation. Therefor it's
a bit hard to understand how to use it. 

Meanwhile I've tried to setup archlinux, but for some reason I cannot
use pacman to install anything. On every soruce I get an 'directory not
found' or 'file not found', or so. Still the internet connection does work.
E.g. in the the Debian fs, I can use apt-get to install apps. Any
suggestions?
