Installation problem

Hi, I am a Linux newbie. I have been trying to install Arch on my laptop via a FTP iso CD. Option 0 ( selecting source) I choose FTP. For setup network, I choose wlan0 ( I have already set up the wireless configuration according to the Installation wiki ). I am trying to use DHCP and it says "failed to run dhcpcd. See /dev/tty7 for details. tty7 is showing a message "dhcpcd already running on pid 3592 (/var/run/dhcpcd-wlan0.pid)"
What do I do now?

Re: Installation problem

if you have configured like in wiki, don't do it again from the menu. just select the source and do the next step without setup network.

Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.
