[SOLVED] Pacman error when installing Arch from installation cd
Hey I''ve been checking the wiki, forum and even google and I've found some responses but they don't seem to apply to my problem and I just need a little help.
I'm at the 4th step "Select Packages" and when I select it I get "Pacman preparation failed! Check /dev/tty7 for errors"
the error on tty7 is "pacman: error while loading shared libraries: /usr/lib/libalpm.so.4: cannot read file data: Input/output error"
I apologize if this is an easy fix but its been almost a year since I've used arch and I'm a bit spoiled with ubuntu.
****The cd was outdated. Burning a new copy fixed it*****

Are you using an up-to-date install image?

I'm afraid it might be too old. I'm going to try to burn a new copy tomorrow when I can borrow a friends computer. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something real simple before I gave up.
