Finaly I manage to install archlinux, but when I'm trying to install xorg, or just use pacman I get an error: "not found in sync db"
I tried: pacman -S xorg
Updating and sync works fine without errors, and my system is up to date.
I have removed some mirrors in /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist, but I still have everyone in europe left. I realy hope xorg is in one of these?
Does anyone know what my problem might be?

Have you refreshed your pacman database (pacman -Sy). If not, a system update is probably the best place to start (pacman -Syu).

It should work... Try removing the mirror at the top of the list then running "pacman -Syy" before trying to install xorg. Maye you just have a bad mirror at the top of the list.

Switch mirror and do an -Syy then -S xorg
Also make sure you are on the latest version of pacman, and that you are using the new style with [current] and mirrorlist.
Edit: Only an issue if you didn't use the latest iso's (2008.03 and 2008.04)

Try
pacman -Sy xorg

I tried to coment out every mirror exept one. and it seems like it does not matter which mirror I use. So I think it is something wrong with my configuration. but updating works!? I think thats strange..

"pacman -Q pacman" should show version 3.1.4. Check that you *.pacnew files have been merged. Especially for /etc/pacman.conf and /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
Offline
'pacman -V' will give you the version info, the latest version is 3.1.4
Also, check your /etc/pacman.conf file to make sure that the [extra] and [community] repos and their associated 'Include =' lines are enabled/uncommented since xorg is in the [extra] repo.

Damn I am so stupid! I comment out the [extra] part in my pacman.conf file when i tried something yesterday! I just removed that and now it works fine
Thanks!!!
