Re: Core ISO and FTP ISO
The Core ISO contains packages on the disc which enable you to install a basic system without an internet connection to download packages during the installation. The FTP ISO requires a connection to download those packages.
If you're setting up Arch on a system with a connection, use the FTP ISO because it will save you bandwidth. The packages on the Core ISO will need to be updated once the system is up and running but with the FTP ISO you will get the latest versions of those packages.
If you haven't come across it already, here's the Beginners Guide to help you through the installation:
