Sorry forgot one thing. I have setup the proxy setting with pacman.conf and also can pacman -S to get software.

Re: Run ./mklarch -p larch/profiles/xmaxi/ error

Are you saying your normal pacman.conf works? If so, I think you should check that the pacman.conf that larch tries to use (PACMANK in the listing) is also appropiately configured. You know you can supply your own pacman.conf to larch (see the docs, I think you can put it in the working directory, maybe also in the profile)?

Thanks a lot. gradgrind

Yes, It's my failt. It's working very well when I modify the pacman.conf in profile.:)
