pacman question

So i've followed this guide in installing xorg

http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xorg#Installing

But when i type pacman -S xorg it says that pacman can't find package instead of it gives me whole xorg group. So should i install that group? And what about xfce gnome etc.. When i try to download via pacman -S xfce4 it also doesn't find package. Tryed different mirrors also i have refreshed pacman database.

Re: pacman question

Installing the whole xorg group is probably a good thing for your first attempt.  You can always remove packages later once you know what they do.

"pacman -S xfce4" find the XFCE group here.  I'd suggest a mirror change and a pacman -Syy but you already have done...
