Installation Arch Linux 2010.05 - HELP

Hello everyone! I will install Arch Linux 2010.05 X86_64 and I have a big problem with the packages. I don't know which packages should I select. I chose all packages from the Basic group, but I don't know which additional packages should I install. I have an ADSL Sagem F@st 800 USB modem. Please help me!!! Contact with me. For every help thank you very much. Regards and good bye.

Did you read through the beginner's guide?  http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Beginners%27_Guide

Re: Installation Arch Linux 2010.05 - HELP

graysky is right: the Guide has information about the packages you can choose:

Package selection is split into two stages. First, select the package category:
Note: For expedience, all packages in base are selected by default. Use the space-bar to select and de-select packages.
Base: Packages from the [core] repo to provide the minimal base environment. Always select it and only remove packages that will not be used.
Base-devel: Extra tools from [core] such as make, and automake. Most beginners should choose to install it, and will probably need it later.

@ Buziaczek
If by chance you're from Poland http://forum.archlinux.pl/

I think you need eagle-atm and the driver is already in the kernel:
/lib/modules/2.6.34-ARCH/kernel/drivers/usb/atm/ueagle-atm.ko

Maybe you should try Ubuntu - they have a nice tool http://sourceforge.net/projects/ubudsl/ to help you setup the modem.

Alternatively you can buy a standalone Ethernet / wifi router that you configure via a web browser.
