"Package directory /src/core/pkg is missing!" [solved]

I'm installing archlinux on a virtual machine running off of Sun VirtualBox.  I'm using the core installation image mounted on a virtual drive (drive G:).

I am in the the ArchLinux Installation Main Menu (Select Source, Set clock, etc.).  I got through the first 3 steps, selecting the source, setting the timezone, preparing the hard drive.  Now, at step 4, Select Packages, it says I have to go back and redo the Select Source step.  Now when I go back to Select Source I get the following message: Package Directory /src/cor/pkg is missing!" and then sends me back to the main menu.

I apologize for noobiness, any help at all is severely appreciated.  Thanks.

Edit/Update:  I chose to do the net/ftp source and it seems to be working.  I'll probably be back if it screws me up again.

Try FTP as source of your packages. That way you'll get the latest ones for sure wink
