Hello all,
I'm not new to Linux or any of the *BSD's, been at it for quite a few years. I am new to Arch, though.
I really like what I've learned about it so far, and really want to embrace it as a main system, but I'm having a hard time getting off the ground. I want to install xfce4, but I keep getting this error:
xfce4-settings: conflicts with xfce-mcs-manager
It errors-out immediately. I read about a similar error in this forum, but never really discovered a fix.
Please help, and much appreciated in advance.

Make sure you're using a recently-synced mirror, then say "no" to installing the whole group, and to the mcs packages, notification-daemon-xfce, (new xfce4-notifyd conflicts with this) and xfce4-screenshooter-plugin (new xfce4-screenshooter conflicts with this).

I appreciate your instructions, Winter. I'll give that a try.

By the way - as the mirrors go, I have simply remarked all non-US mirrors, and archlinux.org (which is said to be locked down at ~50Kbps). Next I have performed the following:
pacman -Syy
and
pacman -Sy pacman
Is there another step to add here to make sure mirrors are recently sync'd?
Thanks again,

You could be a little more specific.
Conflicting packages are:
libxfce4mcs
xfce-mcs-manager
xfce-mcs-plugins
And some more conflicts in the optional xfce4-goodies group:
notification-daemon-xfce
xfce4-screenshooter-plugin
xfce4-xmms-plugin
Those packages should be ignored for a successful XFCE 4.6 installation.

Arch RULZ,
