What happened to the xorg package? i wanted to install arch on my work machine and got this...just 5 minutes ago

there's no xorg package anymore. To install xorg: pacman -S xorg-server
You'll also need to install the corresponding drivers for your mouse, keyboard and video card.

I thought we went through this whole debacle last spring. Maybe my mirrors are out of sync, but I still see a xorg group:

# pacman -S xorg
xorg package not found, searching for group...
:: group xorg (including ignored packages):
    xf86-input-keyboard  xf86-input-mouse  xf86-video-vesa  xorg-fonts-100dpi  
    xorg-fonts-75dpi  xorg-res-utils  xorg-server  xorg-twm  xorg-xinit  xterm  
:: Install whole content? [Y/n]

I also see a xorg group, with the same output that you got.

There is indeed a xorg group. In my post above, I had only checked for an xorg package.

So...wiki page should be updated sometime soon, right?
