If you require help, it wouldn't hurt to have more information as to what those errors on tty7 are?

Re: cannot select packages
I remember having had some trouble with ftp servers in the past. Maybe try a http server instead.

Are you sure of that? I can ftp into the site using FTP.archlinux.org
Reduced_Oxygen: Can you use the ftp client to hit the site? Can you ping the site?

Re: cannot select packages
Use the new testiso (and don't use ftp.archlinux.org as the mirror.....) Oh, and use http instead of ftp.
