Hi,
I'm having some trouble with my pacman. I boot up normally, and then I run dhcpcd -B. After I do that, I can start to ping named hosts like www.google.com. When I try to get any packages with pacman though it tells me it can not find the package I'm trying to install. It does this with any package I try. I checked my config file and the repositories are listed there. I'm not sure whats going on. I installed only the base Arch system. Any ideas?

Try a different mirror at the top of the files in /etc/pacman.d/*, maybe the mirror is bad.

i tried pacman -Syu and it updated my system
So, am I just issueing the wrong command?
pacman -A joe
is that incorrect to add the joe package?

ah, yep, that's the wrong command.
You want pacman -S joe.
The -S stands for sync. The -A command is if you downloaded a name-ver-.pkg.tar.gz file from somewhere because its not in the repositories and you want to install it.
