Too many errors from mirror (some mirror) when trying to install Xorg.
I installed Arch on a VM, and I wanted to install a Desktop Enviroment. I saw that you had to install xorg, but i get "Too many errors from mirror (mirror)". Please help.

If you want help, we need exact errors. Ideally the full log.

Based on your last message, I'll take a guess that you didn't set up your network?

No, I use VMware, and it automatically sets the network to NAT (and also automatically connects because it's virtual ethernet)

Re: Too many errors from mirror (some mirror) when trying to install Xorg.
I can't ping a website. It says "Temporary failure in name resolution". What does that mean?

Re: Too many errors from mirror (some mirror) when trying to install Xorg.
Apparently one of the things that my wifi uses (dhcp) the service for it (dhcpd) is not loaded.

If this is a VM then it won't be using wifi, instead it will have a virtualised wired connection.
