Network configurations depreciated in rc.conf upon System upgrade

Hi:

All seems to be going fine, I installed xorg-twm, and am in the process of installing GNOME. but I get this error while booting.

rc.conf depreciated
Your network configurations are depreciated in rc.conf; use a utility like netcfg.

What do I do to rectify this error?

What will I get if I just issue # pacman -S gnome ?

Thanks all for your help getting Arch Linux up and running.

Regards,
Alan

As for the gnome question:

[karol@black ~]$ sudo pacman -S gnome
