Help! Packages did not install, and bootloader is nonexistant.

Right now, I just installed archlinux through my usb stick and used the netinstall x86_64, because I use a 64 bit processor. Anyways these packages could not download for some reason:
cloog
mpfr
ppl
autoconf
automake
wget
which
m4
bin86
bison
wpa_supplicant
gcc and
isdn4k

Also I couldn't get the bootloader installed. Now, most things are working so, I just need to get a bootloader installed and get those packages. Here's the main issue:
I need wpa_supplicant to connect to my network.
Can anyone help me here? I would appreciate it.
I have a previous installation of arch on another computer, so tech & linux terms shouldn't confuse me.

Re: Help! Packages did not install, and bootloader is nonexistant.

Hi,

I do not totally get your problem. Is this just a matter of installing wpa_supplicant? Then you should download the package on the other machine that does work.

pacman -Sw wpa_supplicant

Afterwards you can copy it to the new machine and install the package file using

pacman -U /path/to/file.pkg.tar.gz

. I figure you are able to set up wpa_supplicant since you used netinstall.
Am I entirely off?!

During the install I used wpa_supplicant, but it didn't install to the system.
