Man pages error during installation

So I'm trying to install Arch again, and as the last time I did this was about a year ago, my CD is probably outdated. I believe Arch has done away with man pages now, but I don't see how this should be an issue during installation?

I went with "Auto-Prepare Hard Drive", and the first time I must have made "/" too small (even though I made it more than the default that was there), because the first time I tried to install packages I got "No space left on disk" error, even though all I tried to install was base and a couple packages out of base-devel. I'm installing from the CD, so should I try to install from FTP instead or something? Is my CD the problem?

I tried Googling, but it produced irrelevant results as far as I can tell.

Thanks in advance.

I'd strongly suggest you to use the latest iso.

Will using the FTP install produce the same results? It doesn't really matter, I'm gonna burn the CD now.

Re: Man pages error during installation

FTP install will still install the latest packages no matter what version of the iso you use but the latest iso has an updated installer.

Alright, the new ISO is burnt anyway.

Thanks guys.
