Trying to install arch

well a while ago I tried installing arch but then gave up on it since I have limited bandwidth and cannot download large packages like GNOME at anytime but now i wanna try again. So i setup my system to install on an external hard drive. I configured all the files and installed the packages but when I went to set the root password i got a bunch of errors i think saying:

/arch/setup: line 1406 : 30000 Segmentation fault chroot ${DESTDIR} passwd root
arch/setup: line 1406 : 30000 Segmentation fault chroot ${DESTDIR} passwd root
arch/setup: line 1406 : 30000 Segmentation fault chroot ${DESTDIR} passwd root
arch/setup: line 1406 : 30000 Segmentation fault chroot ${DESTDIR} passwd root

with the 300000 going from 1-about 40000 in a few seconds. it has been doing this for a few mintues waht is the problem? any solution?
