Installing: hotkeys for Select Packages, Install Packages,

Hi everyone.
Ive been trying to install arch but because I dont know what keys to press to select something I am stuck at stupid places.
So I was wondering if someone could tell me the proper keys (and If its allowed Im thinking about adding them to the "Beginners Guide", because I really think they are needed there).
The first time I got stuck was when I was supposed to "select packages". What key(s) are to be pressed to select it?
I asume its the same keys as for window after that one. If not so, could someone write those aswell.
Later I found a problem with "nano" where I didnt know how to select, and stuff like that.
I got some help with how to save and exit. Also I never got that ^ meant control before they said so.
http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=55023
ctrl+o save
ctrl+x exits
ctrl is what the ^ means on the bottom menu.
I tried searching for it and read in the manual. But I guess its to "basic" to be in it.
Does anyone see a problem with me adding an explanation for:
^ = ctrl
and what key to press to select something when selecting packages
to the "Beginners Guide"?

I assume you use space for selecting categories and packages, at least it's the normal thing to assume (maybe as normal as ^ meaning ctrl), it has been some time that I installed Arch.
If you feel putting these things in the Beginner's Guide would be a good thing, just go ahead. That's why it's a wiki.

Hotkey shortcut for selecting url in address bar to type new url?

Hi, is there a shortcut hotkey for selecting all of the url in a browser window in oder to quickly type a new address, etc?
Thanks
(For example, rather than move the cursor up to an address such as http://www.apple.com is there a key combination I can use to select the entire address so I can type in a new url, such as pixar.com ?)
Sorry if this is so basic.....

FTP x64 Install - Error at Selecting Packages

After I begin the 2nd step from the main menu, to select the packages, I get to choose a server, but after doing so it just shows me a message saying something about "refreshing" before it quickly closes and returns me back to the main menu again. I then press select packages again and get to select the server again, after which the checklist appears (that would normally display the packages to select), but instead of the names of the packages, it just says "Error: ^" on the first line and "Expected ^" on the second. If I try again it just adds another pair of "Error: ^" and "Expected ^" on the third and fourth line and so on as I keep trying (If I select cancel the lines are cleared).
Edit: btw, this is what the "Select Package Categories" checklist looked like after the first try
[*] Error: ^
[*] Expected ^
[*] at ^
[*] least ^
[*] 7 ^
[*] tokens ^
[*] for ^
Any ideas?

I had considered that my last post wasn't my usual 'as thorough as possible' was busy and also not quite sure what I could add that would be helpful.
Basically whether I was installing in vbox or not is probably a non-issue..
i've had the error before with FTP installs...
as I recall I could ALWAYS get around the problem by making SURE I had a net connection via wire that worked and then the actual problem my end I could always overcome by re-formatting the drive FROM within the arch install routine....
so basically if I went back and repartitioned the drive all would be well....
my guess is that there may be something that's fixed or soon to be fixed in the install.....dunno though...
Also, I LOVE and ONLY do FTP installs now.... I get a better sense of 'clean' when doing one...
Well, I hope you can see from the above that I didn't really know how to elaborate earlier.... this all may not be that helpful.
best wishes

10.8.2 update: can't install "error occurred while evaluating Javascript for the package"

Greetings All-
I'm trying to update from 10.8.1 to 10.8.2 on my Macbook Air. When I downloaded the .dmg from Apple and ran it, I got the following error:
"OS X Update Can't be installed on this disk. An error occurred while evaluating JavaScript for the package."
So far, I've done the following, all to no avail:
(1) Updated Java to v7 per Java's website, no change
(2) Downloaded the 10.8.2 combo update, no change
(3) Found Apple's OS X Java update (which is still at v6)- get an error at install that "the contents of the disk can't be changed"
(4) Restarted at each step
Does anyone have any suggestions or ideas?
Thanks!

Permission repair, too?

"OS X Update Combined (10.8.2) can't be installed on this disk. An error occurred while evaluating Javascript for the package."

Need help with "OS X Update Combined (10.8.2) can't be installed on this disk. An error occurred while evaluating Javascript for the package."
Any ideas or suggestions?
Thanks

Well, I've tried your solution without luck.
So, I tried reinstalling OS X Mountain Lion (without formatting the HDD) and it worked! I did it like this:
- Turned on my MBP while holding down Command-R to start OS X Recovery
- Chose the option to reinstall OS X Mountain Lion
After a while, the system rebooted and OS X 10.8.2 was already installed. All my data remained on the HDD since I didn't format it before reinstalling OS X.
Hope it helps some of you with the same problem.

Maintainance tasks for language package installed

Hi All,
May I ask inputs regarding installing language package. Basically, below are my questions.
- Are there any maintainance activities required following installation of a language package in the system?
- Are there any annual support packs for language packages?
- Say our ECC is EHP5 and we installed new language in our system, then we upgraded the same system to EHP6. Are there any activities that needs to be performed because of the upgrade even if the language is already installed in the system prior to the upgrade?
- Do difference in language installed in the systems affect the copied xml file during upgrade? Meaning, say we have dev and QA ecc system. We created stack file for dev for the ehp6 upgrade. Using that stack xml, upgrade dev system. Then a decision is made to install new language in the system. Thus it is installed in upgrade dev, and not upgraded QA. Now, we copy the stack xml file use in dev to be converted for QA. Would there impact on the upgrade process?
I would appreciate your inputs on the queries. Thanks.
Regards,
Philip

Hi Philip,
- It depends on what you did exactly during this installation. Could you please list the steps taken?
- There are no annual support packs. Language packages are shipped with every release of a new Support Package, with updates and corrections of the existing content (if any).
- With SPs as with EhPs, you will need to reinstall the language files for your system. It is hopefully rather quick as a follow-up step (not saying that the initial language deployment is tedious and hard work, but... Well, yes, it is) if you have not performed any translation activities in your installation.
- I don't think so since languages do not seem to be included in the stack (which would actually be counter-productive, dangerous and a dozen unnamable negative linguistic adjectives).
Hope that helps!

SUGGEST:"Installed as a dependency for another package" -What package?

When we run "pacman -Qi" and the name of a package, ex: xulrunner (dependency of firefox), in the end, this shows up:
Install Reason : Installed as a dependency for another package
My suggestion is that it should show what package was it installed as a dependency of. Let me explain better. In this specific example, in my system, xulrunner was installed as a dependency of firefox, so, according to my suggestion, it should show exactly this:
Install Reason : Installed as a dependency for another package - firefox
As you can see in bold, my suggestion adds firefox after showing that it was installed as a dependency.
I hope a Pacman/Arch Linux developer sees this topic and develop that feature,

Unlikely, tbh. Feature requests should be posted in the bugtracker.
Also.. the same pacman -Qi output already provides a 'Required By' which tells you which apps depend on the one you're looking at. Not quite the same, I know, but almost.

[Solved] Installed as dependency for what package?

I was wondering, how can I find out what package has required the installation of another package? For example:
[~ ]$ pacman -Qi gegl
Install Reason : Installed as a dependency for another package
I couldn't find any option that would show me more info on this.

[~ }$ pacman -Qi gegl
Required By : gimp
Do you have gimp installed?
