Re: how to install window manager: awesome ? package not found

your spelling of pacman is incorrect. It should be "pacman" with a c. Also if something is not available in the official repos, its most likely in the AUR.

Surely if it was a misspelling it would give "command not found" rather than not being able to find the package.

awesome is in the unofficial [archlinuxfr] repo or the AUR

ds2k5, where have you read that awesome is in community repo? Was it in the wiki or in a forum post / IRC conversation etc.? If it was in the wiki, it has to be corrected.

Re-read fsckd's post - the link to AUR wiki article is all you need. If you still can't figure it out, sorry, but ArchLinux may not be the distro for you.
