Is there a problem with the ftp install?

I'm trying to do a reinstall and I'm running into problems. I select my packages then chose Install Packages then get an error that Package Install Failed.

I can only see a few errors on /dev/vc/5 but I'm getting a whole list that
says /x11/aterm: not found in sync db
x11/blackbox: not found in sync db
etc
etc
error: unresolvable conflicts/dependencies:
ctags: conflicts with emacs

I've tried several mirrors and I'm getting the same thing for each.

HELP!!!! :cry:

I'm trying again, having selected only the base packages and it's working just fine. Basically I had selected everything in the Base group, none of the daemons and everything below that.

Does that help?

OK, I guess I don't need help after all. I can see that problems with the install exist and once I get the base packages installed I can install anything else via pacman.
I do have a question though, is there a way to select all of the packages in a group or do I have to do them one at a time?
For instance, if I want everything in the X11 and kde group, can I get them with one command?

Thanks

yes get the abs

abs

and run

 pacman -S `/bin/ls`

please not that it's the ` (same button as the ~ for a u.s. layout).
run this command in the directory listing you want
e.g. /usr/abs/kde

COOL!!
That's a great trick. Or is that a feature?

Thanks

It's a hidden Unix "trick"

Yea, that's a bad bug in the setup for 0.3. I believe it only occurs if you select packages from the x11 group.

Speaking of version 0.3, are we going to be able to install 0.4 anytime soon?
