Great site source, but Arch no doubt a great OS but installation is not user friendly. Guess I been with Ubuntu too long.

It's user-friendly, it might not be newbie-friendly.

Those 2 links tells you exactly what to write at the login prompt.
Also:
Whereas many GNU/Linux distributions attempt to be more 'user-friendly', Arch Linux has always been, and will always remain 'user-centric'.
Arch Linux targets and accommodates competent GNU/Linux users by giving them complete control and responsibility over the system.
Arch Linux users fully manage the system on their own. The system itself will offer little assistance, except for a simple set of maintenance tools that are designed to perfectly relay the user's commands to the system.
This user-centric design necessarily implies a certain "do-it-yourself" approach to using the Arch distribution. Rather than pursuing assistance or requesting a new feature to be implemented by developers, Arch Linux users have a tendency to solve problems themselves and share the results with the community and development team -- a "Do first, then ask" philosophy. This is especially true for user-contributed packages found in the Arch User Repository -- the official Arch Linux repository for community-maintained packages.
