Hi everyone

I'm trying to install Arch for 3 days now , partitioning (ok) - connecting to the internet (ok - i configured my wireless and ping google and everything work just fine)
but i can't perform a " pacstrap -i /mnt base base-devel grub2-bios " it shows the " failed retrieving file 'core.db' from ... " message , i did a rankmirror and changed my mirrorlist but it didn't do anything

can anyone help me plz? ( sorry for my English )

Did you mount your partitions? What is your partition scheme?

Please don't do this. Recommending instructions like this is a bad idea for several reasons. First, they go out of date very quickly. Second, instructions like this only work for certain configurations (e.g. bios rather than efi),. Third, they encourage blind copy-pasting which prevents new users learning why they are doing things and increases the chances that they will both break things and have no idea how to fix them.
