the 2008.03-1.archboot.ftp.iso is the only iso that worked for me. after the install, i logged in using root. I ran pacman -S xorg but got an error. I checked the mirrorlist file and everything was uncommented. I ran pacman -Syy and got many errors. failed to synchronize any database. I did nano pacman.conf and in there was no ftp sites. i put Architecture = auto at the bottom of pacman.conf file and got an error.
your help is greatly appreciated.

The mirrors in the 2008 livecd are different from the actuals. What problems do you have with current livecd?

this computer cant boot a cd and no usb. my only option was the 2008 iso because the 2009 iso and 2010 iso were giving errors. so i cant do a system upgrade to 2010.5 once i get pacman fixed?

You could use GRUB to boot the image:

Put some active mirrors in your mirrorlist file: https://www.archlinux.de/?page=MirrorStatus
Also, if you can't connect to any mirrors, maybe your internet isn't working.

It does sound like you are having network problems. Confirm you are actually connected.

how to check if my network is down
Offline
The same way that you would with any Linux distribution: ifconfig, ping, etc. Arch won't automatically set up your network for you, so if you haven't configured it, it isn't up.

You can also use latest archboot version located here:
